Day 1 :- ARRIVAL TRANSFER / KANDY
Meet on arrival at the Colombo International Airport and transfer to Kandy.
En-route visit Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. This orphanage is the home for about 60 elephants, out of which some are baby elephants found abandoned or orphaned in the wild. They are being cared, fed and trained by the wild life authorities. The best time to visit is during the feeding times, when one will have the opportunity of seeing the baby elephants being bottle-fed. Also could accompany the elephants to a river close-by and see them having their daily bath.
