55 miles from Colombo, off the Colombo – Kandy road is Pinnawela, where an
orphanage was started in 1975 to house the abandoned and the wounded elephants.
The number of elephants has increased to more than 65 now; including Baby
Elephants brought from various parts, as well as some of the more than 25
babies born, as a result of the captive breeding programme. The best time to
visit is the feeding time from 0930-1000 hrs and 1330-1400 hrs and the bathing
time from 1000-1030 hrs and 1400-1430 hrs when all the elephants are taken to
the river close by.
