Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage

Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage cares for orphaned, injured and abandoned elephants, and is one of the most accessible ways to see elephants up close in Sri Lanka. The daily river bathing session, where the herd walks down to the water together, is the highlight for most visitors — a favorite stop for families traveling with children.
