This place definitely is spacious and you’d get the flavor of how elephant riding will be in different landscapes. The riding packages are available from 2500 LKR priced depending on how long would the elephant ride would be. We took the longest ride (30 mins) which costed 5000 LKR per head. No matter how many ppl ride, the amount is gonna be pwr head and you’d end up on the same elephant. However, package includes riding elephant back In a little stream, a garden, a forestry area, and to a paddy field. The view is amazing and the feeling is priceless. They cover the entire ride with photos and videos so you don’t have to worry about taking pictures and can totally enjoy the ride. At the stream, you get the chance to have a shower from the elephant which is optional but I’d highly recommend doing that! There is a mini museum that houses remains of a dead elephant who lived 92 years and also they have an elephant tooth you can have a look at. For feeding the elephants you will have to buy fruits separate which is not that expensive. However, sad to mention that the mahouts and caretakers do expect you to tip them in large and won’t stop asking for it until you develop a headache. We went on an early morning like 9am and the place was less crowded also if you are visiting Pinnawela off-season (when kandy Perahera happens in August) its highly unlikely you get to place with an elephant you can ride on. We had to pass by several places and only these guys had elephants for riding. Therefore this is a good place at odd times. Overall, I won’t complain how much we had to pay, the experience was too nice.

We went there to see elephants bathing. We were not disappointed. It was a few years ago. But now I think it’s cruel and can’t recommend anyone sponsoring such attractions.

This place only eats money. Ride few meters for 30 per pax as they said 15 minutes ride. Service is really bad and the elephant care takers behavior is very aggressive. Do not have proper safety instruments, Safety methods. ONLY think about the money. Do NOT recommend
