About Panamure Elephant Kraal
This was the last Elephant Kraal in Sri Lanka where wild Elephants who visited the adjoining water fountain were captured and held to be auctioned off. This place is tied with a wonderful back story of the legendary Panamure Elephant who heroically fought it's captors and laid its life to save the herd. There isn't much to see at this location anymore apart from the remains of the stockade and the water stream. There is a museum being built, but it was still under construction as of December 2016.
