The Yala National Park (also known as Ruhunu National Park) is placed over on an ancient civilization that dates back to the 5th century B.C. Here, in this sunburnt wilderness, the drama of survival plays out beneath vast skies and thorny scrub.
Recognised as one of Sri Lanka’s 70 Important Bird Areas, Yala draws birders and wildlife lovers alike. Over 215 species take to its skies and shores, including migrant waders that arrive with the changing winds. This is also leopard country. Yala is believed to have one of the highest densities of leopard in the world.

In the heart of Sri Lanka’s south west, lies the legendary Sinharaja rain forest, the last remaining largest contiguous lowland rain forest in Sri Lanka. The reserve's name translates to Lion Kingdom. Spanning over 11,187 Hectares, it was identified as one of the floristically richest areas in South Asia with some species not even discovered yet.
Sinharaja is home to 350 species of flora of which 52% is endemic, 120 species of bird of which 26 species are endemic and a variety of fauna.

Designated a national park in 2002, Kaudulla lies in the heart of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, spanning over 6,600 hectares. The park is most famous for seasonal elephant gatherings, which shift between Minneriya and Kaudulla depending on water levels.
From late September to October, herds of elephants gather around the Kaudulla Tank, creating excellent wildlife-viewing opportunities. The park is also home to more than 160 bird species, including pelicans, spoonbills, fish eagles and painted storks.

In the southern dry zone of Sri Lanka, Udawalawe National Park stands as one of Asia’s best places to observe wild elephants in their natural range.
Spanning over 31,000 hectares around the Uda Walawe Reservoir, the park offers clear views of elephants roaming across open grasslands and riverbanks. During the dry season from May to September, herds gather near the water, while a rich variety of birdlife fills the surrounding skies and trees.

This is the island’s first wetland to be named a Ramsar site, and a recognised UNESCO biosphere reserve, where life thrives between water and sky.

Bundala is one of Sri Lanka’s finest birdwatching destinations, home to 197 bird species, including many seasonal migrants. Visitors may spot Black-headed Ibises, Painted Storks, Black-tailed Godwits and flocks of terns, alongside a rich variety of mammals, reptiles, amphibians and butterflies.

Designated a biosphere reserve in 1977, Hurulu Forest Reserve covers 10,000 hectares in Sri Lanka’s dry zone. It plays a vital role in the seasonal movements of elephants, who favour the area during the wet months for its tall, abundant grasses.

Hurulu’s dry evergreen forests are home to satinwood, palu and ebony trees. Connected to nearby protected areas, the reserve also forms an important wildlife corridor, allowing elephants to move freely in search of food and water.

Wilpattu, meaning “land of lakes,” is named after its natural sand-rimmed wetlands known as villus. Spread across dry forest, scrub and grassland, these seasonal water bodies attract wildlife throughout the year.

One of Sri Lanka’s oldest and largest national parks, Wilpattu is home to leopards, sloth bears, elephants, deer and diverse birdlife. Quiet forest tracks wind through its rich landscapes, offering a peaceful journey through nature and history.

Kumana National Park, formerly known as Yala East, is best known for the Kumana Villu, a mangrove wetland that provides an important nesting and feeding ground for birds. More than 250 bird species have been recorded here, with thousands of migrants arriving between August and April.

Beyond its rich birdlife, Kumana is home to elephants, wild buffalo, deer and leopards. Its quiet coastline also provides nesting grounds for sea turtles, making the park one of Sri Lanka’s most diverse wildlife destinations.

Horton Plains is a scenic highland plateau rising over 2,000 metres above sea level. Its open grasslands, misty cloud forests and mountain peaks create a unique habitat for rare and endemic wildlife.

The park is home to World’s End, Baker’s Falls and large herds of sambar deer. Frequent mist, especially from April to September, adds to its peaceful and unforgettable atmosphere. Scenic walking trails offer visitors a closer look at the park’s remarkable landscapes and biodiversity.

Located in Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, Minneriya National Park is centred around the ancient Minneriya Tank. Its forests, grasslands and wetlands provide a rich habitat for elephants, deer, endemic birds and diverse wildlife.

The park is best known for “The Gathering”, when hundreds of Asian elephants gather around the tank during the dry season from July to October. Scenic safaris combine remarkable wildlife encounters with the area’s ancient history and natural beauty.
