Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage

The Pinnawela Orphanage has been both an orphanage and breeding ground for wild elephants from the year 1975. Currently, there are some 100 elephants here, well accustomed to their curious human visitors. Although the orphanage simulates a natural habitat for the elephants, they are taken twice a day to the Maha Oya for baths, and all the baby calves below 3 years of age, are still bottle fed.


Bathing and feeding times are very popular with visitors as they are able to help with the feeding and watch the jumbos frolic in water.

Royal Botanical Gardens

Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya is the oldest formal gardens in Sri Lanka. The garden includes more than 4000 species of plants, including orchids, spices, medicinal plants and palm trees and is renowned for its collection of orchids and the long, palm framed pathways.. It encompasses a total area of 147 acres. Though the groundwork for the current gardens were laid in 1821 by Alexander Moon, the origins of the Botanic Gardens date as far back as 1371 King Wickramabahu time.

Dalada Maligawa

The Dalada Maligawa, also known as, the Temple of the Tooth, is one of the landmark sites in Sri lanka. The Maligawa was once the royal palace , but after the demise of the Kandyan Kingdom the palace was transformed into a Buddhist temple that holds Buddha’s tooth.


It is a must visit location for all tourists.

An amazing day in Kandy


Wow! Wow! Wow! This was an unforgettable tour from start to finish. We rearranged after the terrible attacks in Sri Lanka but Tony made us feel safe from the start. We were taken to Pinnawala

Elephant orphanage which was better than I was expecting, the views were fantastic. We then had a tour around a spice garden including a surprise massage, then it was on to Kandy to see the temple of the tooth. After a lovely lunch stop we moved on to the botanical gardens which were so interesting. Finally we had a tour around a tea factory and tasted some Ceylon tea. The surprise monkey stop also provided a great photo opportunity. Tony is an amazing host and he goes the extra mile to make you feel happy and comfortable. I would recommend his tours without hesitation and just wished we were staying longer so we could go on another. Thank you Tony.
