You will have the opportunity to visit the Elephant Orphanage.
The Elephant Orphanage is about an hours drive from Kandy and is a good chance for people to get up close and personal with a pachyderm. It is a good idea to go and have lunch by the river as after feeding, they are all brought down to bathe and to watch them from a vantage point with a cold drink is a pleasant experience
In the evening, you will be taken to the Temple of the Tooth to see the blessing ceremony with all the fanfare, drums, trumpets and brightly coloured Monks performing their rituals.
You will also have the chance to visit the Botanical Gardens and to see a cultural show whilst in Kandy. |
