Set amongst the verdant hills of Kegalle is a unique orphanage, located at Rambukkana, 88 km from Colombo en route to Kandy. It's the world's first elephant orphanage established to feed, nurse and house young elephants lost or abandoned by their mothers. Other occupants are elephants displaced from their natural environment by development projects or those found wounded. Visitors can see the baby elephants being fed milk from gigantic feeding bottles, definitely an unforgettable sight! The sanctuary is spread over 25 acres of lush forest with a wide river flowing through it, and is home to more than 60 elephants at present that roam around freely.
