Your journey begins with a visit to the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, situated about 55 miles from Colombo along the picturesque Colombo-Kandy road. Established in 1975, this sanctuary is a haven for abandoned and injured elephants. Witness their care during feeding times (9:30-10:00 AM and 1:30-2:00 PM) and delight in their playful bathing sessions in the nearby river (10:00-10:30 AM and 2:00-2:30 PM). Later continue your drive to Kandy for overnight stay.
After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, set out to explore the cultural and natural wonders of Kandy. Begin with a visit to the revered Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, a site of immense spiritual significance housing a sacred relic of Buddha.
