Day 4 - Pinnewala - Dec 13

This Elephant Orphanage in Pinnewala was first established back in 1975 providing care and sanctuary to the orphaned baby elephants found in the wild.

They are cared for until adulthood in the 15 acres of land either for breeding
or to be sold or donated.


The elephants cross the busy road twice in a day for bathing time in Oya River

Being attacked by the baby Elephants for some bananas!!

Mischievous game....kicking a bag of cement!!!

Eco-friendly Elephant Poo used to make paper!!
