Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage ศูนย์ช่วยช้างถูกทิ้ง🐘

Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage is a place to help and care for orphaned elephants, injured elephants, or abandoned elephants. There are more than 80 elephants throughout Sri Lanka. The highlight is to come and see elephants bathing in the Maha Oya River, which people like to take pictures of. The entrance fee here is 15 USD for adults and 7.5 USD for children. 🐘

Before going to see the baby elephants bathing, we stopped by the first zone.
We will find the Fruit Feeding Place, which is open from 9:15 AM to 1:45 PM.
It looks like a wooden house where we can go up and feed the baby elephants fruit.
They sell baskets for 500 LKR (57 baht). They are very smart.
When it is almost 10 AM, they will take all the elephants to bathe in the river.

Taking the elephants to bathe in the river is the highlight of Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. There are only 2 rounds a day: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. They will let the elephants walk freely. Some of them walked to play in the mud and soil
until they were dirty, looking like children. It can be considered that getting to see
them up close is another kind of experience.

For those who want to go down and take close-up photos, want to bathe the baby elephants
, there will be an additional fee. For those who want to do this activity, it is recommended
to buy a ticket from the beginning, otherwise you have to walk back again.
It will cost 885 LKR (100 baht) per person. There will be an officer who will take us
down to play in the water with the baby elephants up close and take pictures. For those who want to
do this activity, it is recommended to wait at the river between 10.15-11.45 a.m.
and 2.15-3.45 p.m. only.
