VenothAgosto 13, 2016Another great place to visit and is quite similar to Kuala Gandah in Malaysia, except that this is in a much larger scale. You'd love the place for sure. Best to come in the mornings.

Ankur BanerjeeDezembro 28, 2015Pinnawala is a government-run place where you're not allowed to touch the animals and it's all run by trained handlers, as opposed to Millennium. Entry is 2500 LKR for foreigners, 700 LKR for SAARC.

Pedro AguirreMaio 6, 2013Nice experience, you can get close to many elephants and take pictures very close to them... some baby elephants are free and walking all around... the only bad thing is that it is a bit expensiveVoto a favor2Votos contra
Miyuru WeerarathnaJulho 12, 2016Come here targeting the times where they feed the elephants and take them for a bath. They're the best times. Also don't hesitate to feed these little Cubs. They're so cute!!Voto a favorVotos contra
Edea NorAbril 10, 2014It's definitely a highlight of Sri Lanka, however be aware of the "trainers" shamelessly asking you for tips after they willingly help u snap photos etc. One guy had the nerve to ask me for 2000 LKR!

Sapna ShahJaneiro 26, 2018Stop paying for cruelty! Be a decent human being and go and see these amazing animals in the wild in Sri Lanka's national parks. This is not an orphanage, it's an exploitative zoo for tourists.Voto a favor1Votos contra
Wamiq ZahidJaneiro 11, 2015A perfect place for elephant lovers & nice stuff in the souvenir shop as well, also FYI discount on tickets who are from SAARC countries.Voto a favorVotos contra
Ibukun BolashodunMarço 24, 2013Definately amazing to watch these animals. Worth checking the time they head for a bath and head back. Buy bananas to feed them, they will come up close to youVoto a favor3Votos contra- Ankur BanerjeeDezembro 28, 2015A lot of the tips here are NOT about Pinnawala but for Millennium Elephant "Orphanage" down the road. Tuk-tuk drivers get commission for taking you to the other place hence they push so hard for it.Voto a favor1Votos contra
wil hermesNovembro 12, 2014The worst place on Sri Lanka so far. So called orphanage is slave farm with no freedom and a lot of cruelty for elephants. Avoid it and spend your money for some more pleasant things.Voto a favor2Votos contra
Дмитрий РедькоAgosto 9, 2015Poor elephants! They are tied up with chains, guards "motivate" them with sticks to dance or to do other things they don't want to do.. They should learn from Thailand guys, which don't hurt elephants

DariaAgosto 12, 2013Not far from the Pinnavela there is another foundation - skating, feeding, bathing the elephants. But it's not what u need! Don't be deceived
