@🇱🇰 Sri Lanka, Pinnawala Pinnavira Elephant Orphanage Elephant Orphanage was built in 1975 and is one of the world's largest elephant rescue centers, mainly adopting homeless, falling into deep pits or traps, out of elephant groups, especially seriously injured young elephants. To the east is the main park of elephant life, you can see how the baby elephant eats; to the west, Ma Oya River is a place where the elephant baths daily. The elephant baths 🛁 twice a day (10~12 and &14~16). The elephant team set off in a vast manner and took a bath on the river beach in the west. Paper products made like manure are the national rituals of Sri Lanka.

One of the projects worth visiting in Sri Lanka, visit wild elephants. Everyone will take a local dedicated jeep. Then cross the jungle of the protected area to find elephants. You can see interesting Asian elephants here. It is worth it.

@🇱🇰 Sri Lanka, Nuwara Eliya Novara Eliya Horton Plain National Park Horton Plains National Park During British colonialism, it was named after Wilmert Horton, the British Governor in Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka), (also said to be his wife Anne • Horton). In 1969, it was designated a wildlife refuge. In July 2010, due to its biodiversity, the central highlands of Sri Lanka (including the Horton Plain National Park, the Peak Wilderness Reserve where Adam Peak is located and the Knuckles Mountains) were listed on the World Heritage List ~50+ local geoguide full-time control speed (counterclockwise hiking), The "Horton Three-person Team" with the two beautiful young ladies opens 10km 4h special soldier mode 4:00 get up ➡️4:45 depart the hotel➡️6:00 sun rise➡️ 6:30 hiking ➡️no stop walking➡️10:30 leave the park➡️11:20 arrive the hotel➡️11:45 travel move🤣 Overall feeling, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain ps: In order to protect the environment, the food will be required to unpack the plastic bag and put it in the paper bag provided by the garden. The washing room [laughing] at the entrance is a thousand miles away. There is a toilet. It is not a dry toilet. In addition, it seems that there are only two bathrooms in the park, and the walk from the exit is about 1 hour.

This reserve has pure beauty! It's so peaceful inside, a great place to escape the bustling city. You can walk a lot of different paths in the park, some are short walks for people who don't want to go too far, some are long walks for people who walk longer. There is also a bike path there. There are also many monkeys there, which is really interesting! We also found a turtle in the river. This place is definitely underrated and should be noticed by more people visiting Kandy!

2023 Year 8 Month, I participated in the park's safari tour in the evening, but the elephants were only 2 heads and hardly saw animals. It seemed like I came to see a big national park. The reason why there are no animals is that the animals are moving to another place due to the heat wave in recent years. The Sri Lankan made a reservation, but the tour company did not explain in advance that there were no animals. You can't see any animals you can imagine in this national park. Please be careful.

Sri Lanka has the world's largest Asian elephant population, and despite the government's law banning wild elephants, it is still facing extinction. There are many reasons for this, such as killing people and animals, the need for religious culture and entertainment industries to be kept in captivity, etc., but it is well known that elephants have extremely low reproduction rates and survival rates under captivity because they belong only to nature. Elephants belong to a complex family social structure in the natural environment, requiring dozens or even hundreds of square kilometers of space for activities, but in captivity, they have no space to live in the wild at all, and can only be forced to strip from the family and limit it to more than a dozen square meters of space. The final is gloomy. In Sri Lanka's Kadura and Mineria National Parks, which together cover more than 150 square kilometers, are a paradise for wild elephants, rich in vegetation and green grass next to the reservoir, attracting hundreds of elephants foraging. Visitors take off-road vehicles, just look far away, and do not affect the life of the elephant group. This is the way I admire, not captive while protecting wild elephants, but also their undisturbed natural environment.

@🇱🇰 Sri Lanka, Yala Yala Yala National Park Yala National Park Park is located on the southeastern coast of Sri Lanka, covering an area of about 979 square kilometers, is the largest national nature reserve in Sri Lanka, second only to Villeptu National Park. The park is not only diverse in ecological environment, but also known for its numerous wildlife. The park was recognized as a protected area in 1900 and was recognized as a national park in 1938 with the Villapatu National Park. Yarra National Park consists of five regions, of which only Sea Yarra (the main area of Ruhuna National Park Ruhuna National Park leopards and elephants) and East Yarra (Kumana National Park Kumana National Park Bird watching) are open to the outside world. In Yarra, you can see almost all wildlife in Sri Lanka. There are more than 30 species of mammals and 215 species of birds. I saw that birds 🦜 elephant 🐘 buffalo 🐃 sika deer 🦌 🦎 peacock 🦚 crocodile 🐊 wild boar 🐗 & Indian lazy bears, leopards, etc. ~
