DAY 05
After breakfast do a city tour of Kandy. Kandy was
the last capital of the Sri Lankan kings, and is a World Heritage Site. The
name Kandy conjures visions of splendour and magnificence. Many of the
legends, traditions and folklore are still lovingly kept alive. Drive around
the Kandy Lake built by the last Sinhala king Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe in
1798. Visit the Kandy town and Bazaar, the arts & crafts centre and a gem
museum and a lapidary. There after proceed to Pinnawala and visit the
elephant orphanage in Pinnawala. This orphanage is the home for about 60
elephants, out of which some are baby elephants found abandoned or orphaned
in the wild. They are being cared, fed and trained by the wild life
authorities. The best time to visit is during the feeding times, when one
will have the opportunity of seeing the baby elephants being bottle-fed.
Also could accompany the elephants to a river close-by and see them having
their daily bath. Thereafter return to Kandy. Overnight stay at Earls
Regency Hotel or Le Kandyan Hotel, Kandy or Tree of Life Hotel, Kandy

the Old World charm is retained. As an example there is a 100 year old clock
tower and several British built colonial buildings. Other places of interest
are the Pettah bazaar where one can shop for a bargains, the old Parliament
in Fort, a Hindu and a Buddhist temple, residential areas where you find the
stately homes of the affluent and the Bandaranaike Memorial International
