Built during the British colonial rule in the early 19th century, the ambalama is a famous stopover for horsemen and merchants traveling towards ancient hill capital of...

👍 There's nothing much to see here to be honest, but it's good for a quickly-planned trip in the afternoon. There is a staircase to the top and its not a difficult climb. I heard the road that appears on Google maps is not in good condition. Its better to continue straight along the Kadugannawa-Pothth...

The people working there are utmost warm and welcoming, very pleasant encounters. Also, they take such...

Animal orphanage for abandoned & maimed elephants, with feedings & river bath events for the public.

👍👍 Elephants in the orphanage are brought here to shower. All the elephants are given a bath once a day, so make sure to check the time with the ticket counter. You also can enjoy the scene while eating something as there are places you can grab a snack in the area.

😐 Nice place to ride the elephant, take the 3000 rupees package is more than enough to do all activities.

😐 It was a good experience to try riding and feeding elephants also you can give them a shower the price is little pit high , i paid 5000 for a small ride. I think they are forcing them to do that by using sticks and hitting .

👍👍 I've been here a few times. Twenty years ago my wife stubbornly insisted to ride the tuscker here who carried the sacred relic at the nearby temple in Kandy. She was the first female to do so. So, it was a sad surprise to see that noble beast memorialized here. Though he is being treated with an app...

😠 Very bad experience! The elaphants are in terrible condition. And additionally, the staff know nothing about those animals.
