<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">The Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage is situated northwest of the town of Kegelle, halfway between the present Capital Colombo amd the ancient royal residence Kandy. It was well-known in 1975 by the Sri Lanka Wildlife Department in a 25 acre coconut property next to the Maha Oya River. The orphanage was at first founded in order to afford care and protection to the many orphaned elephants found in the jungles of Sri Lanka. In the year 1978 the orphanage was taken over by the National Zoological plant enclosures from the Department of Wildlife. And the elephants at the orphanage aren’t subjected to any form of stress, abuse or threat at all and are supported by a team of employees numbering to over 100 including a group of mahouts. The main aim of this orphanage is to stimulate a natural habitat to these elephants.&nbsp;</span></p></div></div>

The name Sigiriya refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 metres (660 ft) high. On a small plateau about halfway up the side of this rock he built a gateway in the form of an enormous lion. The name of this place is derived from this structure —Sihagiri, the Lion Rock. Sigiriya today is a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site. It is one of the best preserved examples of ancient urban planning.&nbsp;

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The stone sanctuary of Dambulla is arranged at 47 miles toward the northwest of Kandy, the last capital of the Sinhalese lords. The relic of this spot has been bona fide by the nearness of pre-Christian engravings in Brahmi's character. It is one of the most amazing and one of the eight UNESCO attractions these little island presents are the mind-blowing Dambulla Caves. Sitting on the head of a 160 meter high stone, these five caverns cut in have been a traveler's goal for quite a long time. There are five surrenders inside, each with an alternate inside and sculptures anyway various people on a glance would acknowledge they are truly comparative. Buddha pictures were first made here over 2000 years back, and all through the many years coming about rulers added to the improved the sinkhole craftsmanship.

Wolvendaal Church is one of the most important Dutch Colonial era buildings in Sri Lanka, and is one of the oldest Protestant churches still in use in the country.&nbsp; The 1749 Wolvendaal Church is the most important Dutch building in Sri Lanka. When the church was built, this area was a wilderness beyond the city walls. The Europeans mistook the packs of roaming jackals for wolves and the area became known as Wolf’s Dale, or Wolvendaal in Dutch. The church is in the form of a Greek cross, with walls 1.5m thick, but the real treasure is its Dutch furniture. Overdue repairs began in 2017.

<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">The Dewatagaha mosque is one of the more prominent mosques in Colombo-its lovely exterior is almost an iconic part of architecture near Town hall. It is also partially a shrine for the saints from the 19th century, Muslims and non- Muslims also visit to pay the respect. This sacred resting place of a great saint, the mosque is revered by people of all denominations. This renowned mosque of Colombo, the Dewatagaha Mosque holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike. It is beautiful to look at- huge and white much like the ones in Galle and Beruwela which were set up around the same era. It is somehow patronized by the people of all faiths, as it is the oldest mosque in Sri Lanka. People here pray and it is believed that wishes do come true. Make a wish!</span></div></div>

This temple is one of the most revered historic Buddhist temples of the orient. Set on the summit of a small mound lapped by the waters of the river Kelani, this beautiful shrine presents one of the most panoramic views ever offered to the tourist by this small island of ours, the pearl of the Indian Ocean. Among the many Buddhist temples of Sri Lanka, the Kelani Viharaya stands out as one of the most exquisite examples of the sculptor’s art. Its history runs back to more than 2500 years. In the days of yore, it always received full royal patronage, and to this day, it’s has been highly venerated by the people of the island. Its significance as a place of Buddhist worship is clearly evident in the island’s folklore.

South Africa so well organised and memorable

<div>With flamingo tours, it was our 1st trip which is made a memorable one. Our tour manager Mr. kushal shah is just perfect guide.</div>
<div>On the very first day <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr. Kushal shah</span> wanted us to have a great bonding amongst each other so that we get the best experience possible. He always tried to serve the best food and at the proper time. The thing that was best in him was that he always shared some or the other things related to the place we were visiting in an interesting manner. Mr kushal shah tried to give information about the place in an easy language understoodable by every participant and never meant to behave partial with anyone. A negative or say a sad point&nbsp; was that the Orlando hotel which was felt comparatively poor quality. We were given quality shopping time and he also enlisted what activities are to be done in parks that are the best in that particular part. It was overall a very good and unforgettable experience.&nbsp;</div>
<div>At last would say that hats off to the tour manager<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Mr. kushal shah.</span></div>
