Arrive in Colombo International Airport. Meet and Greet services by a representative of Distinct Destinations Lanka

Thereafter proceed to Colombo, Explore a city tour.

Check in to the hotel

Colombo like many capital cities in developing countries Colombo is fast changing its face. Almost overnight, skyscrapers arise from

where old buildings once stood, yet in some parts, the old world charm is retained. A 100-year-old clock tower and several British built,

colonial buildings are still to be seen in the city. Enjoy a city tour of Colombo which is the largest city and former administrative capital

of Sri Lanka and is a busy and vibrant city with a mixture of modern life and remnants of a bygone colonial era. Due to its large harbor

and its strategic position along the East-West sea trade routes, Colombo was known to ancient traders 2,000 years ago. However it was

only made the Capital of the island when Sri Lanka was ceded to the British Empire in 1815. The main city is home to a majority of the

Sri Lanka’s corporate offices.

As you enter the 25 acre coconut property, do not be surprised to witness baby elephants being bottle fed or moving around freely

causing absolutely no harm to anyone. It is rightly a sincere sight to observe how these gentle giants - orphaned and sometimes three-

legged - are taken care of since 1975 at Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. Up to date, over 20 calves have been born here, and it is

surprising to hear that some of its inmates have even seen their grandchildren during the past few decades! Watch as they feed at 09:15

am, 0:15 pm & 05:00 pm and take a river bath twice a day at 10:00 am & 02:00 pm respectively for an experience that could never be

felt anywhere else on earth!
