“The Gathering of Giants” 2025 returns to Cinnamon Habarana Complex

Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts, together with Cinnamon Nature Trails and in partnership with Seylan Bank has announced the return of The Gathering of Giants, taking place from July 25 to 27, 2025 at Cinnamon Habarana Complex.

July 8, 2025

  This much-anticipated event marks the third edition of a unique nature experience that brings together wildlife enthusiasts, families, conservationists, and travellers from across the globe—especially neighbouring India—to witness Asia’s largest congregation of wild elephants.

Conveniently timed around a long weekend for many Indian travellers, this immersive three-day event offers front-row access to one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles—the seasonal migration of hundreds of elephants to Sri Lanka’s Minneriya and Kaudulla National Parks. Recognised by Lonely Planet as the 6th greatest wildlife spectacle globally, the elephant gathering is a breathtaking and humbling experience that promises to resonate with Indian nature lovers, photographers, and families seeking responsible and meaningful travel. 

“Bringing The Gathering of Giants to life for the third consecutive year reaffirms our deep and enduring commitment to safeguarding Sri Lanka’s wildlife heritage,” said Hishan Singhawansa, Chief Executive Officer Designate of Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts. “This event goes beyond observation—it’s about sparking awareness, nurturing responsible tourism, and uniting communities and experts to drive lasting change. It’s one of over 35 ongoing humanitarian and conservation initiatives that shape who we are and what we stand for.”

Nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, the Cinnamon Habarana Complex—comprising Cinnamon Lodge Habarana and Habarana Village by Cinnamon—offers guests front-row access to nature’s theatre, all supported by Cinnamon’s signature brand of conservation-conscious hospitality. 

This immersive three-day experience blends expert-led wildlife talks, hands-on workshops, and guided ethical excursions into Sri Lanka’s iconic wilderness. While the elephants remain the heart of the event, this year’s edition also embraces the broader diversity of Sri Lanka’s wildlife, featuring dedicated workshops on leopards and migratory birds alongside our core mission of creating awareness and conserving the largest Asian elephant gathering—Asia’s premier wildlife spectacle.

This year’s programme features gripping insights from BBC wildlife cameraman Noah Falklind (leopards), leading elephant researcher Dr. Prithiviraj Fernando (human-elephant coexistence), and ornithologist Prof. Sampath Seneviratne (migratory birds), promising an enriching and unforgettable experience. Rooted in a deep respect for Sri Lanka’s natural heritage, this initiative reflects Cinnamon’s enduring commitment to safeguarding ecosystems, empowering communities, and inspiring responsible travel.

The Cinnamon Habarana Complex is more than a location; it’s a living gateway to one of Sri Lanka’s richest ecological landscapes. With The Gathering of Giants, Cinnamon Habarana Complex is not just creating access to a spectacular wildlife phenomenon— but also shaping ethical, educational, and deeply moving encounters that foster a lasting connection between people and nature.

With growing interest from Indian wildlife and experiential travellers, early reservations are strongly encouraged. Whether you’re a seasoned wildlife lover, a family planning an unforgettable vacation, or a responsible traveller seeking inspiration—The Gathering of Giants 2025 is a journey worth making.

 

Event Dates: 25–27 July, 2025
Venue: Cinnamon Lodge Habarana
