Pinnawala

Commence your day bright and early with a pickup, setting off for Kandy with a stop at the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. Established in 1975, this orphanage serves as a breeding and conservation center for wild Asian elephants. Its mission is to protect and care for orphaned elephants from the island’s jungles, offering them a natural habitat. Twice daily, the elephants are led to the river. Don’t miss the captivating Elephant Feeding, where you might even have the opportunity to feed one of these gentle giants. Be sure to capture the memorable moment as you watch the elephants enjoy their bath. After this heartwarming experience, it’s time to bid farewell to the Elephant Orphanage and continue your journey to Kandy.

Ambuluwawa

Next on your itinerary, visit Ambuluwawa. Upon reaching its summit, you’ll be treated to breathtaking panoramic views, occasionally shrouded by mist. When the mist disperses, the sight can be awe-inspiring, though it may unnerve climbers with a fear of heights. Hiking Ambuluwawa is generally safe, but it may not suit adventurers with acrophobia. After your visit to Ambuluwawa, proceed to check in at your Kandy hotel.

Temple of the tooth

Concluding your day, we’ll escort you to the Temple of the Tooth during the evening ceremony. Every day, three ceremonies (at 6am, 10am, and 6pm) feature the sacred tooth, housed in an ornate golden casket, being brought out for devout Buddhists to witness. It’s a spiritual spectacle, with offerings of flowers adorning the tooth’s chamber, prayers resonating through the room, and rhythmic songs from drummers filling the air. Visitors eagerly queue up for a chance to get up close to the golden casket. Despite the room’s warmth and limited space, filled with both devotees and tourists, the experience is immensely rewarding. It offers a genuine sense of the ritual, tradition, and significance of this sacred place. Following this memorable visit, you will stay overnight at your Kandy hotel.

Nuwara Eliya, affectionately known as “Little England,” is the highest of Sri Lanka’s three hill stations, perched at an elevation exceeding 6,000 feet above sea level. It served as a haven for British colonists seeking a slice of home in a distant land.
