Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage

Pinnawala elephant orphanage

Started in 1975, the orphanage was created to house young elephants found abandoned and the wounded. The orphanage has grown to be a big family today. The number of elephants has increased to more than 40 now, including baby elephants bought from various parts as well as the babies born as a result of the captive breeding program. A unique experience never to be missed (Approx. 1 ½ hours to visit).
