Hi,
Is it possible to visit the Pinnewala Elephant Orphanage, the Sri Dalada Maligawa in Kandy and then return to Colombo in one day? How long is the drive from Colombo to Kandy

It can be done - I often see it advertised as one of the shore excursions offered by cruise ships, sometime with a full lunch stop onthe way.

Hi,

Yes its possible to do this trip in one day which is usually done by a lot of people. The journey may take 2 - 2 1/2 hrs time with a stop over at the elephant orphanage if you dont spend a lot of time at the orphanage.

Regards,

Treshi
