Elephant Transit Home (ETH)
The Udawalawa Elephant Transit Home is a renowned elephant rehabilitation center dedicated to rescuing and caring for orphaned elephant calves. Unlike traditional orphanages, elephants here are raised with minimal human contact and later released back into the wild once they are strong and independent. Visitors can observe the elephants during scheduled feeding times, watching dozens of calves gather together in a natural, open setting. This meaningful visit offers a unique insight into Sri Lanka’s wildlife conservation efforts while supporting the protection of these gentle giants.
