Pinnawala/Kandy

A day out to the Elephant Sanctuary and Kandy. The journey takes you first to the Elephant Sanctuary at Pinnawala where abandoned and orphaned Elephants are being looked after. Then you will be visiting a Ayurveda Herbal Garden enroute to Kandy. Kandy is the hill capital of Sri Lanka founded in the 14th Century AD and the last kingdom of Sri Lankan kings before it fell to the British in 1815. The Temple of the Tooth Relic which houses the sacred Tooth Relic of “Lord Buddha” is the most significant building in the city and is a place of veneration for the Buddhists world over. The journey to Kandy presents the traveler with a cross section of what Sri Lanka has to offer in landscape and scenery. A visit to Gem Museum, Arts & Crafts Center and Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya ends this programme.
