Your Experience
Back in 1989, the Malaysian Wildlife Sanctuary established an elephant sanctuary within the Krau Wildlife reserve for rare Asian Elephants. As of today, there are now about 1,200 elephants living inside the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary. These elephants were displaced due to the continued poaching and logging for urban and agricultural development within the area. This conservation method was initiated to preserve the species, care for the young before they’re released to the wild.
Tourists can engage in several activities with elephants. They can go near to have real interactions with these mammoth beings. Those who prefer to watch and observe can also do so at the observation deck set higher up. Our full day tour lasts for 8 hours with pick-up time at 09:00am in the morning. This tour will take you to Kuala Gandah which is found in Temerloh within the District of Pahang. The trip will take one and a half hours and guests will get to experience elephant feeding, elephant bathing, an elephant conservation documentary.
Elephant bathing (subjected to weather conditions and payable at own expenses) is one of the biggest highlights in the sanctuary. Guests can go into the water to interact with the elephants as they bathe. You need extra pair of clothes for this activity and it’s subject to the current water level of the river. After experiencing the elephants in Kuala Gandah, the tour’s last stop would be a visit to the Batu Caves. This is a religious site where a famous Hindu festival is held. There are marvelous statues of deities on the top of the hill as well.
