Riding an elephant(Day Tour)

Sri Lanka’s Elephant Back Safari brings a lot of joy and incredible experience to life. Elephants have always been the best travel companions. Elephant riding is a great opportunity to observe both wildlife and the traditional lifestyle of people and is a truly unforgettable experience. It will be a great opportunity to get very close to the majestic animals and traditional lifestyles of the people of the rural villages of Sri Lanka. The Elephant Back Safari not only offers the opportunity to see wildlife while riding an elephant, but also the opportunity to become part of the elephant. Mahouts can deal with elephants by giving verbal commands in a special language and using a simple weapon called a goat.

• While the elephant enjoys bathing in the river, you have the opportunity to help the mahout scrub the elephant. Enjoy feeding your new “gentle giant” friends the fruits you offer and her favorite leaves. This is one of the most amazing creatures on the coast of Sri Lanka and a lot of one-on-one unforgettable experiences at once.
• After spoiling the elephants, say goodbye to the mahouts and escort them to a traditional Sri Lankan lunch at the village house.

The most popular locations of Elephant Back Safaris are  Habarana, Sigiriya, and Kaudulla.
