Your leisure day is an empty canvas awaiting your strokes of joy, where the palette is filled with colors of relaxation, curiosity, and self-discovery.

Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage

The word `elephant orphanage` may be unfamiliar, yet it is entirely factual and real. The quiet grounds are committed to providing a natural habitat for captive elephant babies ranging in age from weeks to fifty years. The herd can be housed at the only orphanage of its sort on the planet to date.

The Pinnawela elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka was founded in 1975 on a nine-hectare plot of ideal coconut plantation land. There were only seven orphans at the start. Some of this generation`s members have now given birth to the second and third generations, and the story continues.

Tooth of temple Kandy

The Sri Dalada Maligawa (or Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic) is a Buddhist temple that houses Lord Buddha`s tooth relic. It is located within the royal palace complex of the ancient Kingdom of Kandy. Kandy was the last great capital of Sri Lanka`s ancient monarchs, and the presence of the temple is one of the main reasons why the city was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The relic housed within the temple has played an important part in Sri Lanka`s political history, as it was believed that the keeper of the relic had the authority to rule the country. The protection of the tooth relic became one of the monarch`s duties, and it became a symbol of the right to reign over time. This is why the temples built to protect the relic were so close to the monarch`s royal home.

Ambuluwawa

Then you can take in beautiful views of the neighboring mountains, forests, rivers, and cities. The constant mist might sometimes obscure the view.

Tea Factory and Plantation

Sri Lanka has a long history of tea tourism, and practically all tea factories provide some kind of tour. The tours can be completed while traveling through the tea country and don`t take very long. Normally, when visiting a tea factory, one would first visit the plantation to learn about the cultivation of tea before going to the factory to see the old equipment that was used to wither, roll, and dry the tea before the industrial revolution. After the tour, there is typically some time for a tea tasting, sometimes of just one kind of tea but more often of the numerous specialties of that particular factory.

Horton Plains

The highlight of Horton Plains National Park is World`s End, where the highland plateau abruptly ends and a 1,000-meter plummet opens up before you. Mini World`s End lies nearby, with a drop of only 300 meters. If you get there before 10 a.m., you`ll almost certainly be rewarded with something magnificent. Arrive late, and the mists may have rolled in, leaving you staring into whiteness, especially during the wettest months of May to September. A tiny viewing area is walled off, but deviating from the designated path poses evident danger as you approach the cliff edge. An extension to adjacent Baker`s Falls, one of Sri Lanka`s greatest waterfalls, is also worth a visit for the energetic. This requires some scrambling up steep slopes and is only suggested for individuals with quick feet. The walk to World`s End is 4 kilometers long on level terrain, with a hard loop to Baker`s Falls (2 kilometers) and another 3.5 kilometers back to the entrance. It takes three hours to do the 9.5-kilometer round trip.
