  Highly suggest you to come when they are bathing, other time, it is very quiet and not much things to see. If you come here from Kandy, take a bus from Kandy to Kegalle, and switch bus at the junction to Pinnawala.

  This is an average spot that comes close to being labeled as a tourist trap. The large amount of advertising this place gets seems to be pushing tourists to this place. However, don't expect too much. Elephants aren't the kind that like being kept chained or kept captive. The upkeep isn't great either. The place looks like one run to gain from tourists' fascination for elephants. On the plus side, the restaurant beside the river didn't disappoint.

  The Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage was established by the Sri Lankan Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1975 for feeding and providing care and sanctuary to orphaned baby elephants that were found in the wild. The orphanage was located at the Wilpattu national park, then shifted to the tourist complex at Bentota  and then to the Dehiwala zoo From the Zoo it was shifted to Pinnawala village on a 25-acre (10 ha) cocunot plantation adjacent to the Maha oya  River. The primary residential care area is on the east side of Highway B199, Rambukkana Road.

  This is one place where u can see such a huge number of elephants.. They are taking care of orphaned and injured elephants which got separated from the heard during the civil war. There is facility to Feed the elephants. It's a magnificent sight to see such a large heard of elephants being taken to the river like a cattle heard.. Try to reach there before the time elephants are taken to the river..
