👍👍 We had a wonderful 4 hour safari with Deshan. He is a great person and guide. He stopped everywhere and spotted the animals and he also carried the parks book with all animals and plants and explained many things. I really recommend him. We did the trip in the afternoon from 14.00 to 18.00 and we c...

👍👍 Mapalana_Ella #Siripagama #Palabaddana The tallest waterfall in Sabaragamuwa Mapalana Falls Do you believe that there are gods in a waterfall? Whether it is true or not, I think it is fair to say so when visiting Mapalana Falls. Because of the two Nuga trees that stand on either side of the waterfa...

👍👍 This is the best place to view elephants up close They walk the elephants down to the river so they can roam around and play in the water It is fantastic just to watch them play and you are very close to them I could watch them for hours this way just doing what they love to do

👍👍 Our first safari was really good all around and definitely provided enough memorable moments. Sam (our guide) has contributed a big part. He was very helpful, explained a lot, answered any questions and gave us many opportunities to observe the animals alone away from the other jeeps. 🐘 Thanks fo...

👍👍 One of the beautiful waterfall in the Ayagama area. It can be easily accessible from the road using the footpath near the bridge. It is possible to reach all layers of the waterfall. At the bottom it is possible to bathe but always be careful. No parking fees or entrance tickets required. Generally,...

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.

👍👍 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...

👍👍 This is the exact location of "dumpus waterfall" (දුම්පුස් ඇල්ල) and there are wrong location added to google map by someone and ingnore it. The wrong location is located in area of south direction from this location.... enjoy guys✌️
