FAQ

Why should I choose to see elephants or book a tour with the Mondulkiri Ethnic Project?
 ·  When you come and visit Sen Monorom in Mondulkiri you need to book a tour to visit the jungle. It is not possible to find the walking tracks on your own – you need a guide.

·         Our Elephant of Bunong and Jungle Treks are located in some of the best jungle close to

Sen Monorom.

·         We are not owned and operated by Westerners.

·         We have Sen Monorom’s only Bunong homestay in Putang village.  Our Bunong homestay in Putang village provides a good place for lunch, to relax during our elephant trek adventure tour or to stay during your overnight trip.

·         On our tours you get to swim with an elephant and wash it in the river to help prevent skin infections on the elephant.

·         We use Bunong guides who have grown up living in the jungle village you will be trekking through.

Where your money does goes?

Your trekking money goes towards supporting Elephants health care, Student future, community forest and Bunong health care you will visit for long term.  This prevents logging and habitat destruction in this area.  No other treks you will book in Sen Monorom supporting to Bunong people.

So you will be helping to conserve a forest which is now providing economically and ecologically sustainable income for the local Bunong people.
