A visit to the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage is one of the most relaxing and heartwarming experiences in Sri Lanka. Every day, the elephants are taken to the nearby Maha Oya River for their bath—and watching this is a true delight for visitors.

At the river, you will see:

• Elephants enjoying the cool water

• Baby elephants playing and splashing

• Caretakers washing and brushing them

• The whole herd relaxing like a big happy family

It is peaceful, beautiful, and a perfect moment to connect with nature.

The river bath is also a great place for photos, because the elephants move freely and naturally in the water.

At Dual Seasons Holidays, we include Pinnawala in many of our tours so our guests can enjoy this special experience safely and comfortably. It is a wonderful activity for families, couples, and anyone who loves wildlife.

If you are visiting Sri Lanka, make sure to add Pinnawala Elephant Bathing to your travel plan—you will never forget it.
