Leopard country on Sri Lanka’s south-east coast
Destination overview
Yala National Park is one of Sri Lanka’s best-known protected landscapes, where dry-zone forest, lagoons and coastline support leopards, elephants, sloth bears and rich birdlife. Sightings are never guaranteed; responsible pacing and park rules always come first.
