The original intention of the orphanage was to save elephant orphans from war. As one of the only two elephant orphanages in the world (the other in Kenya), here is greeted with waves of tourists every day, elephants are chained, surrounded and photographed, there are shops outside the orphanage, selling various surrounding souvenirs, there is a strong commercial atmosphere, Among them, elephant dung paper is the most popular. Unfortunately, I didn't feel the taste of relief in the orphanage, but I felt that these elephants were very poor. However, there are indeed an extremely large number of elephants here, and it is difficult to see so many in the national park at once. The elephant group has a bath time on the beach across the road every morning and afternoon. During this period, tourists can feed elephant bananas and take pictures with elephants. Of course, these are expensive tips. You can eat buffets in the place where you see the elephant bath, mainly to save time. There are many domestic tour groups that will pack the best location. Before leaving, my dad wrote a sentence in the guestbook. If someone goes to the orphanage next time to turn to this, that is what my dad wrote.

    Kenya is the first elephant orphanage in the world, and there are only two in the world. Dozens of elephants gather to take a bath is spectacular. It is also a business, seeing the scene of paying elephants to lie in the water and play

    Sri Lanka, with about 3,500 wild elephants, is the second-largest country in the world. Traveling to Sri Lanka, visiting Pinawara Elephant Orphanage, and getting close contact with elephants is a must-do task. In 1975, Sri Lanka built the world's first elephant orphanage in Pinawara, nearly 90 kilometers from the capital, Colombo, adopting orphans who lost their elephant herds for various reasons, and the existing elephants have nearly 100, becoming a famous tourist attraction. The entire scenic spot is separated by the highway into two areas, there are 3 points: bathing in the river. At 2 hours every day at noon, the elephants came to the Ma Oya River on the west side, accompanied by the clear water in the river, the sky water sprayed by the nursery, and the free bathing and frolicking. The shed performed. The main courtyard area on the east side of more than 50,000 square meters, with a 300 square meters greenhouse in the center, regularly holding feeding elephants and elephant fighting performances (300 Sri Lankan rupees/about RMB9.4, you can feed the elephants at close range once). The cute look and the burly figure are huge and full of charm. Walking in the area. Most areas of the main courtyard area are elephant living areas. Looking at the crowds of elephants strolling leisurely in the sand and in the forest, they can't help but sigh: the world is so beautiful.

    The Elephant Orphanage was built by the Sri Lankan Wildlife Bureau in 1975. It mainly adopts young elephants who are homeless, fall into deep pits or traps, and leave elephants, especially those who are seriously injured or suffering from diseases. Not only elephants, roadside chameleons and monkeys are at zero distance from us. There are many similar things in Southeast Asia. I have been to many places. It should be said that the elephant happiness index here is very high.
