MY VOYAGES

Sri Lanka - Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage

The elephant orphanage in Pinnawala is the most popular tourist attraction on the island. However, the program of feeding baby elephants causes a lot of emotions. For many people, especially children, it is an amazing experience, but controversy is the fact that baby elephants are chained during feeding. This is because of the safety of tourists, because babies over 100 kilograms could cause a lot of confusion and even hurt someone. However, I was most impressed by the majestic procession to the river, a herd of several dozen individuals, chased along the narrow streets of Pinnawala.
