Elephant Village

My fiancee had his heart set on riding and petting an elephant. According to the locals, these elephants came from the elephant orphanage and cannot be reintroduced into the wild. It seems like they have a half-dozen elephants that walk a track. For about $25/person, an elephant will pick you up and walk you into a stream. They lay down and you give them a scrub. Then the elephant will splash you of you like. The whole time, a guy is taking pictures. Then you get to give the elephant some fruit. Prepare to get wet!!!

Couple of elephants here, however you can come close and touch them. Riding on elephant is about 2000 rupies per person, three times cheaper that in official places. You can make a photo anytime you like, and enjoy feeding animals.

I've been here a few times. Twenty years ago my wife stubbornly insisted to ride the tuscker here who carried the sacred relic at the nearby temple in Kandy. She was the first female to do so. So, it was a sad surprise to see that noble beast memorialized here. Though he is being treated with an appropriate degree of reverence here that is properly instructive of the relationships the animals and people of Sri Lanka have. I don't know how unique an experience this elephant riding experience is from others in Sri Lanka but few horse trails give you the opportunity to bathe and play with your mount the way you do here. I believe any close interaction you have with an elephant may awaken a higher degree of respect for the intellect and character these creatures have. Come here if you want to see that demonstrated as clearly as the love the Sri Lankans have for Elephants.

Love it... Elephant Riding was so Adventures. The way quite small but that was the best part.

This place was very nice...Plenty of things to see and many other attractions are available in the local area.
