The Pinawella elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka is a fabulous place. We sat at a position in the restaurant. From there we saw the elephants were led to a river where they had their bath. They are being fed, nurtured and propagated. We bought milk and fed them also.Elephants are helpful animals. Their propagation is a noble venture.

@sathviksouvik I rode on one with Pretty when she was around 7 years old. We enjoyed ourselves.
