Elephant orphanage

Admission: 2500 rupees for adults and 0/000 rupees for children.

Opening hours: 8:30- 18:00.

Elephant bathing time:10: 00-12: 00/14: 00-16: 00.

At present, there are only two elephant orphanages in the world, in Sri Lanka and Kenya. 1975 Sri Lanka Wildlife Bureau established the world's first "elephant orphanage" for the homeless, the seriously injured trapped, especially the seriously injured or sick young elephants. Since its establishment, the scope of selected orphanages has been expanding.

Here, like Thailand, elephants are regarded as national treasures, and the elephants living here are carefully taken care of by special people.

When they arrived at the elephant orphanage, it happened that the elephant was taking a bath. The elephant went out of the yard and bathed in the river across the street.

Because it has just rained, the elephants have become "coolies" and the staff are bathing them. The elephant played happily in the water and started a happy afternoon.

Lion Mountain in West Giria

Admission: 4620 for adults and Serbs. 6- 12 children 2,310 (including big tickets, murals and museums)

Opening hours: 8:30- 17:30.

It takes about 2 hours to drive from the elephant orphanage to the ancient city of Sigiriya, and the road conditions are still eighteen bends, but it doesn't seem to affect our driver Rumaish to speed up. He has been overtaking, which is a skilled driving skill of a Sri Lankan driver.

Lion Rock is known as the landmark of Sri Lanka, one of the must-see attractions and one of the "eight wonders of the world". It took 18 years to build a palace in the sky on a huge orange rock.

Lion rock refers to a huge rock up to 200 meters. Two moats and three city walls surround the square city. The moat in the park is still well preserved. There are two highlights here: one is to appreciate the ancient murals on the spiral stairs; Second, watch the afterglow of the sunset spread all over the earth at the top of the mountain.

At first, this huge rock was built like a huge lion. Now, there is only one lonely lion body left. The lion's head has weathered away, and an empty garden palace is hidden on the lion's back. It is a world-class precious heritage protected by UNESCO.

This royal garden became the back garden of monkeys, and a family of three was caught playing in the tree. Unfortunately, the baby ran away and didn't catch it.

In particular, if you need a tour guide to explain, you must negotiate the price in advance, and there is also a charge for assistance along the mountaineering route. If you don't need it, you must resolutely refuse it.

royal botanic gardens

Opening hours: 8:00- 17:00.

Today, I spent most of my time on the bus. Originally, I planned to visit the Buddha's Tooth Temple and the Royal Botanical Garden in Kandy today, but the whole country was in a state of emergency because we went just in time for the riots in Kandy, Sri Lanka.

Kandy is the place where the incident happened, so a curfew is imposed now. For the sake of safety, we have cancelled all the trips here. However, Rumesh said that if you want to go to Eli in Nuara, you have to go through Kandy, otherwise it will take a long way, and his home is near Kandy, so it's no problem here. Finally, we decided to pass by Kandy, not to go to the scenic spot or spend the night here.

After entering Kandy, soldiers with guns will stand guard every few hundred meters. Although I was a little nervous when I saw the battle going on like this, I saw that the local people lived a fairly harmonious life. As usual, I slowly relaxed.

It was noon when I arrived in Kandy, and I suddenly saw KFC so hungry. After dinner, Rhuems talked with us. He has a happy family with a son and a daughter, and has always dreamed of owning a car of his own. Later, we learned that the local tax in Sri Lanka is very high, and tens of thousands of cars in China have to double here. However, the wage level in Sri Lanka is not high.

Rumes is a very professional driver. He is not only a good driver, but also tells us a lot of ways to play and matters needing attention. Every day when you see that we are not sleepy, you will talk to us a lot and introduce various things in this country. Your English is very fluent, and there is basically no problem in communication.

After eating, Rhuems suggested taking us to Kandy Lake. Some people say that Kandy Lake is to Kandy what the West Lake is to Hangzhou, which shows the significance of Kandy Lake to the whole Kandy. The lake has beautiful scenery and is covered with tropical flowers and trees, forming natural trees.

Horton plain

Admission: around 3400 rupees.

Opening hours: 6:30- 18:30.

It's about an hour's drive from Elie, Nuara to Horton Plain. In order not to be shrouded in fog, people usually get up at 4 am and go to the famous scenic spots at the end of the world. As it rained the day before, we didn't want to get up early the next day, so we decided to go hiking in Horton Plain at 9 o'clock. Although Sri Lanka is in summer all the year round, it is located in a mountainous area with a large temperature difference between morning and evening. It is strongly recommended to wear thick clothes when going out. You can't take too many thin down jackets, and it's really cold here!

Horton Plain is circular, and there are two ways to walk clockwise and counterclockwise. The total length is about 13 km, and the whole journey takes 4-5 hours. This is probably the longest road I have traveled. Special note: in order to protect the environment, the scenic spot does not provide food and water, so it is necessary to prepare food in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to support.

Horton Plain is an important ecotourism area in Sri Lanka, a world natural heritage and the only national park that allows tourists to walk. Most of them are covered by primitive grasslands, dotted with many dense jungles, with rich landforms and species.

During hiking, the whole plain was shrouded in fog and drizzle, but I still firmly believe that there will be sunshine ahead. After walking for half an hour, at the end of the small world, it's still gray and you can't see the roots in the distance (no wonder everyone chooses to leave in the early morning).

Yala national park

Admission: adult $15; 8 dollars for children; Jeeptrackerrs250, service charge is USD 8/vehicle, and VAT is 12%.

Opening hours: 06:00- 18:30. The park is closed every dry season. The exact date varies from year to year. Official website will announce it about two months in advance.

With obsession, it is very thrilling to enjoy the scenery of small Africa. The whole open jeep wandered around the park and even the Ceylon leopard-infested area. At five o'clock in the morning, it was already dark, and the jeep picked us up at the gate of the hotel. At the entrance of Yala Park, it gradually darkened and turned a little brighter.

In particular, you have to take a jeep to enter the national park. We make an appointment with the driver one day in advance (hotels and homestays here are all managed reservations). Two tickets, 600 yuan RMB. If it is more cost-effective for one person to take one more car, the visual inspection can take up to six people.

The most anticipated thing here is to see Ceylon leopard. On the way, I kept praying for good luck today, but it didn't show up in the end.

National parks are very big. It is a paradise for crocodiles, elephants, deer, bears, wild buffaloes, peacocks, wild boars and various birds. It is also recognized as the forest park with the highest leopard density in the world.

In order to find all kinds of wild animals, we run along dusty and bumpy roads like roller coasters. It is recommended to wear a mask. Although I didn't see the Ceylon leopard, I saw my baby elephant, which made up for my regret in the elephant orphanage.
