Elephant tours Sri Lanka

HabaranaSpend A Day With An Elephant

Spend a day with an elephant and give him / her a day off. Probably one of the most unique & sustainable thing to do in Sigiriya , Habarana , Dambulla or Kandalama 

SLDT/1702/Ex02


Why should you book this trip?

  • This is an unforgettable experience with plenty of one-on-one time with the most incredible creatures to inhabit Sri Lanka’s shores.
  • We, as a responsible tour company, have completely stopped promoting elephant back rides. We do not even promote the elephant orphanage in Pinnawala.
  • This activity is designed to give an opportunity for an elephant enthusiast to get close to an already domesticated elephant and nurture it whilst learning about the elephant behaviour in a domesticated setting.
  • There are close to 300 domesticated elephants in the country and there is strong lobbying from temples to get more from places like the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.

    Though capturing wild elephants to domesticate them is not happening in Sri Lanka right now, conservationists strongly believe that even orphan elephants should not be domesticated.However, questions remain on how to cater to someone who loves elephants and wants to have an interaction with them in a responsible manner.

    We at SLDT have designed this programme to fill this gap and what we have created is an “Elephant Spa”.

    You will be working in the spa to give these elephants a few hours of pampering, whereas otherwise they will be working and taking tourists on their backs, logging or parading in a procession.
  • Considered as a must complete thing to do when you are in Sigiriya , Habarana , Dambulla or Kandalama

Feedback

Sri Lanka Day Tours representative was caring and professional when she dealt with our requirements. She recommended all the great things that we should be doing during the tour. Driver / Car was excellent. The company was checking on us regularly and was kind enough to do the required amendments even during the middle of the tour.
