The Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage:

Established in 1975, commenced with seven orphans today some of these orphans enjoy the fortune of seeing their

grandchildren born in the same location. The original objective of establishing the orphanage inclined more towards tourism,

but is soon became conservation and educational centre. With the help of local and foreign elephant experts, Pinnawela started

a scientific captive-breeding programme for elephants. The free movement of the herd enhanced the chances for respective

individuals of both sexes to get together and mate. The nearby river played a dominant role in this regard, and in 1984, the first

baby of Pinnawela was born.

The Fort - Originally a fort during the Portuguese and Dutch periods but now a major

commercial center of the country and housing major offices, big hotels, some of the

better shops, airline offices, banks, main post office, immigration office, travel agents

and restaurants. Within Fort are several places of tourist interest, which can be

conveniently seen on foot

Pettah - Adjacent to Fort is Pettah-Colombo's leading bazaar district. It has narrow

cobbled streets lined with shops and street stalls that offer the most fantastic bargains

and the most unimaginable range of goods varying from bright printed fabrics, suitings,

undergarments, children wear, footwear and handbags to electrical goods, semi

precious jewellery, watches, rare first edition books, cutlery and other household items.

Each criss-crossed lane of Pettah leads to the main street and each has developed its

own specialized characteristic. For example, household goods are found on Keyzer

Street. Prince Street is famous for glass, mirrors and electrical items. Malwatte Avenue

sells English, Sinhala and Tamil music cassettes

Galle Face Green - A promenade on the sea face stretching one and a half kilometers, it

is a relic of the British era. Laid out in 1859 it was used for horse racing. Today it is the

largest open space in Colombo and a famous picnic spot

Slave Island - On the south of Fort, is a long, narrow island-where the slaves had their

night quarters-called Slave Island. Today the spot is surrounded by the remains of the

former Beira Lake and is home to many office buildings, hotels and stores

Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara - It is a famous Buddhist temple and is believed to be at the

spot where the Buddha preached 2000 years ago. It has an excellent carving of a

reclining Buddha, and is the site for an annual perahera (religious procession) in January

The Viharamahadevi Park - Located next to the National Museum, it is Colombo's

largest park. The park is famous for its flowering trees, water channels and fountains.
