It is 86 kilometers southeast of Colombo and 44 kilometers west of Kandy. Pinnawala is best known for its elephant orphanage, located a few kilometers from the small town of Rambukkana, about which you may have heard a lot before your arrival on the island. Since 1975, this government institution has been home to between 70 and 80 elephants of various ages. You should know that opinions are very divided: some support the efforts developed for the safeguard while others strongly criticize the orphanage. It is more like a zoo and some voices are raised to denounce the mistreatment of the elephant calves...
