During our trip from Negombo to Kandy, our tour guide proposed this visit. This government orphanage takes care of 20 elephants. Low entry fee, and you get to see the elephants up close. They have a great space to walk freely, and go to the river twice a day for their bath. Only for this walk, they get a chain (with cloth to protect the feet).
