    Elephant Transit Home (ETH)

    30 min

    Witness milk feeding session at Udawalawe’s Elephant Transit Home is one of the most heartwarming experiences for visitors. Elephants gather in a secure area for their scheduled milk feeding which is carefully bottle-fed by caretakers, who monitor their health and nutrition. This sanctuary rescues orphaned baby elephants found in the wild—often separated from their mothers due to natural causes or human conflict—and cares for them until they are strong enough to return safely to their natural habitat.
