Yup! You read that correctly! You will find a fascinating world of stationery inside, along some truly creative ideas. [We were told that it is a state-owned company and that the money is used for the elephants' care.] #colorful P.S. My pace breakers in Sri Lanka (link in Romanian)-- https://bit.ly/2xzmRNx
Bathing time..
A cool village situated in the vicinity of the newly established Pinnawala Open Air Zoo. It is still under construction. Therefore, not highly recommended to visit. Still there are few amazing sights to see around and there are quite a few of Leopards in the park.
