Known the place is due to an elephant orphanage ( Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage ) where orphaned or injured elephants are cared for in a natural environment. Also there offspring is generated and the herd is widely eingegerenzt which gives the impression that these elephants live halfway in the wild. Daily at 11:00 clock the elephants are led to an adjacent river to soak them and it is also a tourist attraction. Elephant tusks have not, except an old bull. They also do elephant riding.
