Why Yala National Park?

For a chance to glimpse the endangered Sri Lankan Leopards

Sri Lanka’s most renowned National Park, Yala, is in the southeast of the country and encompasses a large area of forest, savannah and lagoons. It is home to an incredible array of wildlife, including elephants, leopards, crocodiles, monkeys, and buffaloes.

Yala National Park Highlights

Here we have selected a few of the sights and experiences that you really should see on a visit to Yala National Park.

Sithulpauwwa

This ancient rock temple is a place of worship for devotees. It is believed that in ancient times this rock temple housed a total of 12,000 monks.

Magul Maha Viharaya

Magul Maha Viharaya is believed to have been the location for the marriage of King KavanTissa to Vihara Maha Devi. You could combine a visit to Sithulpauwe and Magul MahaViharaya as they are fairly close to each other

Beach Walks

While most of the long coastal stretch that hugs the park is out of bounds for humans, the park lets you get off at designated places. It gives you a chance to exercise your legs and take a stroll on the golden sandy beaches.
