Another great place to visit and is quite similar to Kuala Gandah in Malaysia, except that this is in a much larger scale. You'd love the place for sure. Best to come in the mornings.

Pinnawala is a government-run place where you're not allowed to touch the animals and it's all run by trained handlers, as opposed to Millennium. Entry is 2500 LKR for foreigners, 700 LKR for SAARC.

Nice experience, you can get close to many elephants and take pictures very close to them... some baby elephants are free and walking all around... the only bad thing is that it is a bit expensive

Stop paying for cruelty! Be a decent human being and go and see these amazing animals in the wild in Sri Lanka's national parks. This is not an orphanage, it's an exploitative zoo for tourists.

Come here targeting the times where they feed the elephants and take them for a bath. They're the best times. Also don't hesitate to feed these little Cubs. They're so cute!!

It's definitely a highlight of Sri Lanka, however be aware of the "trainers" shamelessly asking you for tips after they willingly help u snap photos etc. One guy had the nerve to ask me for 2000 LKR!
