elephant ride
Trunk-bearer's back trip
An elephant ride is a tourist activity in which people sit on an elephant's back, typically in a seat called a howdah, while the animal walks a set route.
Once a staple of zoos and Southeast Asian tourism, elephant rides have declined as awareness of animal welfare concerns has grown: We skipped the elephant ride after reading about how the animals are trained.
