about AED 216.7
2 adults and 2 children aged 6 and 14, priced against this venue’s own published age bands.
VERIFIED at USD 17 for foreign adults, paid in rupees at the gate rate. Established 1975 for orphaned and injured elephants; the herd walks down to the Maha Oya to bathe twice a day and that is what people come for. Animal-welfare opinion on the chaining and riding practices here is divided - the Elephant Transit Home at Udawalawe is the release-focused alternative.
