Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage
Park
Directions

Get ready for a truly heartwarming experience at the elephant orphanage, a place with a special buzz you won't find anywhere else. Time your visit for the morning, and you'll see the adorable baby elephants being bottle-fed before the whole herd makes its way down to the Maha Oya River for a bath. It's an incredible sight to watch these gentle giants splash and play in the water, a memory you'll surely treasure from your time in Sri Lanka.
