  • Sri Lanka

Enjoy an unforgettable wildlife experience with this full-day tour from Kandy to Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, home to one of the largest herds of captive elephants in the world. After a scenic morning drive, arrive in time to witness the elephants being fed, a heartwarming sight as baby elephants are bottle-fed by caretakers.

Next, head to the nearby river to watch and participate in the elephant bathing sessionβ€”a fun and interactive experience where you can help wash these gentle giants as they splash in the water. For those seeking a closer connection, an optional elephant ride is available (ethical standards may vary and are explained onsite).

Enjoy a Sri Lankan lunch at a riverside restaurant, offering views of the elephants bathing in the river.

In the afternoon, explore the orphanage grounds, take photos with elephants, and learn about conservation efforts before returning to Kandy in comfort.
