Kandy Day Tour


The tour usually begins with a scenic drive through Sri Lanka's countryside, en route to the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, which is about 2.5 hours from Colombo.

The Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage is a sanctuary for orphaned and injured elephants, where visitors can witness the daily feeding and bathing routines of the elephants. It is a popular tourist attraction and a great opportunity to get up close and personal with these gentle giants.

After spending some time with the elephants, the tour proceeds to Kandy, which is about an hour's drive from Pinnawala. The first stop in Kandy is usually the Temple of the Tooth Relic, which is considered one of the most sacred places in Sri Lanka. The temple houses a tooth relic of Lord Buddha and is a significant pilgrimage site for Buddhists around the world. Visitors can explore the temple complex, which includes several historic buildings and museums.

Next, the tour heads to the Peradeniya Royal Botanical Garden, which is located about 6 kilometers from Kandy. The gardens are spread over 147 acres and are home to thousands of plant species, including exotic orchids and giant bamboo. Visitors can stroll through the picturesque pathways and enjoy the serene atmosphere.

The tour concludes with a drive back to Colombo or Negombo.
