This traveler destination is located in Pinnawala, an area closer both to Colombo and Kandy. According to recent estimations, there are almost 100 elephants in this orphanage. Pinnawala Orphanage was opened with the hope of preserving Sri Lankan Elephants that were under threat of extinction as a result of British hunting during the colonial era. At the beginning, there were only five baby elephants. Now it is home to many.
What is most attractive about the place is the scenery of elephants’ bathing and baby elephants’ immature behaviors. The water supply for the elephant bathing comes from Ma Oya which flows closeby. The food for the elephants are provided by the orphanage and food includes rice and maize also. Sometimes tourists endeavor to feed these animals by themselves. Even though it is a pleasurable activity, this has been identified as an animal provoking activity and there have been several reported cases where the elephants tried to attack visitors for food. True that they are tamed, yet still they are animals and cravings for food may drive them insane. Hence, be careful! As long as visitors stay calm and enjoy the sight of the elephants, you won’t get into trouble.
