SRI LANKA Tour

App. 55 miles from Colombo, off the Colombo-Kandy Road, is Pinnawala, where an orphanage was
started in 1975 to house the abandoned and wounded elephants. The number of elephants has increased
to more than 65 now, including Baby Elephants brought from various parts, as well as some of the
more than 25 babies born as a result of the captive breeding program. In 2023, there were 71 elephants,
including 30 males and 41 females from 3 generations, living in Pinnawala. On 31 August 2021, a 25

marked the first instance of the birth of twin elephants in Sri Lanka after a gap of 80 years since 1941.
