Sri Lanka is well known for its wildlife , especially for its massive herds of Asian elephants residing in forests and the national parks.
We started by 9 am from Colombo and it takes about 2.5 Hrs. (70.9 km) to reach Kagalle.
Millennium elephant foundation is a charity organization which rescues captive Asian elephants and take care of them.
There are different visiting package fares which you can choose from and it’s a contribution for the elephant welfare. We took the Tour package of 2000 Sri Lankan rupees which included elephant museum, elephant bathing and tour of the park.
This park is fascinating and huge. It offers a very natural habitat to the elephants. The elephant tamers are very kind towards the animals and look after them generously.
I am not very fond of touching animals and this time I got to touch an elephant which was a very different experience. What I noticed is they have very rough skin and have thick har on then which is merely visible because of their skin texture.
Elephants are very human friendly creatures and I find them to be super cute.
Check out our time at elephant foundation below:
The park is very well maintained and its takes about an hours’ time to take a stroll around the park. The park is covered with beautiful flowers and coconut trees.
Its genuinely a refreshing experience and you must definitely take this if you love animals and want to spend some time caressing them.
