National Elephant Conservation Centre, Kuala Gandah , Pahang




















Our Next Stop -  Kuala Gandah ( close up with elephants)

From Bentong town we head back to East Coast Expressway heading for Lanchang/Raub/Kuala Lipis). After more than 20minutes drive we reach the Lanchang toll exit 816, there is a T-junction, then turn right here. (turning left will lead you to Lanchang town, a rather sleepy town with 2 rows of shop houses only.) From the t-junction to the elephants center is just only 6km. Just keep driving straight and after you see the marking 6km, there are 2 big signboard, one pointing right to Deer farm , while the one pointing to the left is the correct one leading to the elephant center. Anyway after visiting the elephant center you should later drop by the deer farm to have a look see.

Upon entering the main entrance of the centre, there is a big parking compound where you can park your car. Then go to the main lobby and register first. No entrance fee is required, but donation is optional. 
The main activity here is to feed the elephants,ride and bath the elephants. But in order to ride and bath the elephants you are required to hire a guide (RM30) and each person have to paid only RM10.
