Day 1
Airport - Pinnawala - Kandy (Travel Time - Approx.4 hrs)

Welcome & assist by Helanka Vacations. Our driver will pick up you at the airport and transfer to Kandy. En- route visit Elephant orphanage Pinnawala.
The orphanage was created to protect abandoned and orphaned elephants. It has now grown into a popular elephant attraction in the country and with good reason, for no where else except at Pageants (processions) are you likely to see so many elephants at close quarters. The elephants are controlled by their mahouts (keepers) who ensure they are fed at the right times and do not endanger anyone but otherwise the elephants roam freely around the sanctuary area. There are many elephants in residence from babies to young adults. Among the attractions, you will be able to witness elephants being lead to a nearby river for bathing. You could also see the feeding of the baby elephants which is the highlight of the visit.
