Visit the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage first thing in the morning to see the lively interactions and river bathing rituals of the elephants. From there, go to Kandy to view the Buddhist holy site known as the Temple of the Tooth Relic. Take in a cultural dance presentation that features traditional Sri Lankan craftsmanship. The Peradeniya Royal Botanical Gardens, which house a sizable collection of international plants, should then be visited. Admire the enormous trees, stroll along the peaceful walkways, and unwind by the lake.
