Kegalle is a lush district in Sri Lanka's Sabaragamuwa Province, famous for the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage where you can watch baby elephants bathe in the Maha Oya River. The tropical climate stays warm year-round (around 85°F or 30°C), with wetter seasons from May to November perfect for trekking through the Kitulgala rainforest, and drier months from December to April ideal for visiting tea estates in the surrounding hills. In the dry season, you can hike to the Bopath Ella waterfall, while the rainy months offer cheaper stays and a chance to spot playful elephants in their natural habitat.
