Yala National Park

Yala National Park, situated close to Tissamaharama and Kataragama in the southeastern part of Sri Lanka, is one of the most thrilling wildlife parks in Asia. The park is known to be home to one of the highest leopard densities in the world, and therefore, it provides the traveller with an opportunity to experience the natural world, wilderness, and memorable animal experiences. Yala is scattered throughout the forests, grasslands, lagoons, and coasts in the most ideal combination of beauty and wilderness. The product here is jeep safaris, where the visitors have an open-air adventure experience via dirt tracks, where the animals that are found in the area include elephants, crocodiles, wild boars, deer, jackals, and troops of monkeys. Bird lovers will also find the park a paradise, as it is the home to hundreds of migratory and endemic bird species that fly over the wetlands.

Yala embraces green tourism, and the visitors are advised to respect the rules of wildlife, to avoid littering, and to be silent when viewing the wildlife as an effort to conserve the fragile environment. Regardless of whether you are in the mood to see the leopard in the sunrise or just in the quiet beauty of the wilderness, Yala National Park will offer you a real and unforgettable adventure.
