You will be picked up from Colombo Harbor and then proceed to Kandy, en route to visit Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. PINNAWALA ELEPHANT ORPHANAGE - The Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage provides visitors with a chance of seeing elephants up close. The orphanage was established in 1975 with seven orphaned elephants. Today some of these orphans enjoy the fortune of seeing their calves born in the same location. Assisted by local and foreign elephant experts, Pinnawala commenced a successful captive breeding program and the first baby elephant was born in 1984. It is most interesting to visit at feeding time to see the baby elephants being bottle fed and the entire herd taken for a bath thereafter to the river nearby.

"Our private day trip to Kandy and Pinnawala was exceptional. Starting from Colombo Harbor, our journey to Kandy was comfortable and scenic, passing through lush landscapes and charming villages. In Kandy, we explored the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic, learning about its cultural significance and admiring its architecture.

The highlight of our trip was visiting the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, where we observed elephants in a natural setting and learned about their conservation. Our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating, ensuring we had a memorable experience throughout the day. Highly recommend this tour for a comprehensive and enjoyable exploration of Kandy's cultural gems and Pinnawala's wildlife."
