The Elephant House is a place worth visiting. You can contact the elephant up close. It is different from watching the elephant show. This is a place to care for the elephant's life. It is very meaningful and worth experiencing.
Udavalleway Elephant House is also a caring place in Sri Lanka. Its function is similar to that famous orphanage of elephants. It also helps those elephants who need help. Now it has been offered to tourists. They need to buy tickets and feed them. Of course, these foods can not be brought with them. They need to be purchased here. These lovely budding elephants are said to have been released into the forest in the future.
Here is the elephant's halfway rest station, playing a role of a transit station, go out to protect their perspective, in order to make them adapt to the natural ecology, and finally return to nature. Elephants look so cute that it's a comfort to have them reborn.
This is a similar place to the Pinavera Elephant Orphanage, but the difference is that there is no chance of close contact with elephants. According to the guide, most of them will eventually return to nature, such as Udavarawi National Park.
