Hundreds of people visit Ngalaik elephant camp in Nay Pyi Taw

Hundreds of people visit Ngalaik elephant camp in Nay Pyi Taw on the public holidays as the infection rate of COVID-19 declines, said U Aung San Oo, in charge of the camp.

 The camp was closed as of March 2020 due to the outbreak of COVID-19. It was reopened for public observation in June 2021. The camp was built with the aim of ensuring convenient public observation with the longest wooden bridge. As of November, the number of visitors to the camp declined on the public holidays.

 “The camp was reopened from the temporary closure in March last year. As local people did not comprehensively know the resumption of camp and fear of the pandemic. On the public holidays, some 100 people visit the camp on office holidays,” said the in-charge.

 The longest wooden bridge than Taungthaman Bridge was built in the area of the camp. It is 5,294 feet long. Four bungalows have been built there for the stay of the visitors. Travellers to the camp can view various kinds of trees in addition to pine plants.
