This orphanage is one of a kind, where the baby elephants weigh 60 kgs or more. This orphanage is the world’s first and only elephant orphanage established to feed, nurse, and house young elephants lost or abandoned by their mothers. The other occupants are those displaced from their natural environs by development projects or those found in a wounded condition. Here, the visitors can watch the baby elephants being fed milk from gigantic bottles or being bathed in the rivers that flow nearby, creating an unforgettable sight and a wonderful experience. This orphanage, established in 1975 by the Wildlife Department and National Zoological Gardens, has subsequently developed into a breeding program through which more than twenty-five elephants have been born since 1984.

It has retained its aura of grandeur, which time has not affected. It is enveloped by hills, with a serene lake at its center; it’s home to one of the most renowned temples, which enshrines the Tooth Relic of the Buddha, and the Royal Botanical Gardens, which displays the world’s best collection of orchids.
