Things to do in Udawalawe

The Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home is a remarkable conservation project dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing orphaned elephant calves back into the wild. Managed by the Department of Wildlife Conservation, this ethical facility allows visitors to observe feeding sessions from a viewing platform without disturbing the animals. Unlike traditional elephant attractions, the focus here is on minimal human interaction, ensuring the calves can successfully return to their natural environment.
