With the help of local and foreign elephant experts, Pinnawela started a scientific captive-breeding programme for elephants.

The nearby river played a dominant role in this regard, and in 1984, the first baby of Pinnawela was born.

Very professional firm who organises your desired trips with perfect plan. Recently jog gliders planned my overseas trip to Asian countries and I literally enjoyed every bit of time spent there. Sometimes we worry about safety n planning of the trips, however this trip built the trust in Jog gliders for coming future trips as it was very well maintained and planned. One of my flight timings changed n I messaged Anuranjan and he quickly responded without any delay and pickup was taken care off accordingly. It is super amazing to see these kind of good traits in the travel agents. Trust is the most important thing which I see in Jog gliders. Keep up the fantastic work Anuranjan. � Thank you for the services you provided.
