Price: 2000LKR for foreigners and 100 LKR Location: Randeniya, Hiriwadunna, Kegalle Timings: 8:30 am to 4 pm, all days
Everything good, but low light in the evening. VERY BIG ROOMS. 50m2. Very big bath room. Japan styled hotel. Big clean swiming pool. A lot of staff here. Very clean territory. Good sea view. Very quite here. Only on weekends we can hear music from near hotel place for wedding. No music in the evening at all.
Enjoyable trip, the guides there does their job, but their English is limited. You get to ride an elephant for about 2min, it's a good hands on experience. The keepers will bear "spears" of sorts. This is not for stabbing the elephants, its to touch then on points for "manual" command if voice command fails. They do not harm these animals! Listen to the guides and read the signs. Everything will be explained. (NB: the guides and people will all ask for tips, keep it in mind)
Not much to see and do. Although children enjoyed the elephant bathing, feeding,the elephant ride and the brief museum;it took us not more than 1-2 hours to complete all that the place had to offer to visitors. The staff is warm and cordial. All in all a nice place for animal lovers.
GREAT experience for kids and adults too! I just loved it! It was a unique opportunity to wash an elephant to feel its skin and see his ears flipping :-) and feed him. Congrats to all the staff for keeping this place alive! It was a great lesson for us about elephants, we were 18 persons and we all had a wonderful experience @ museum too. One suggestion: please upgrade the toilets!
Amazing experience and enjoy the world's biggest pet,there has elephant riding, elephant bathing,food feeding and many activities with safe service...
Not sure if it's good for the elephants or not. We didn't ride, but did get in the river. Use your own moral judgement
