Sri Lanka is an ideal place for wildlife lovers. Here’s what you’ll find in some of its national parks.
Horton Plains National Park
Drive time from Colombo: Five hours
Towering up in the central highlands, Horton Plains is the highest plateau (高原) of Sri Lanka. The cloud forests here are rich in plants and animals that have been used to to the cooler climates. Birds such as the Sri Lankan whistling thrush and Sri Lankan bush warbler are best seen here.
Minneriya National Park
Drive time from Colombo: Five-and-a-half hours
Thick jungle surrounds lakes and contains many animals, but game viewing is generally poor — except for the wonderful seasonal gathering of elephants. The gathering takes place in Minneriya during September and October.
Yala National Park
Drive time from Colombo: Six hours
Yala is located in the southeast of Sri Lanka. It is famous for the Sri Lankan leopard (豹). In June and July sloth bears (懒熊) are often seen. The beautiful areas also have a lot of birds. Enthusiastic birdwatchers should also visit Bundala National Park (an hour away) or the Palatupana Salt Pans (ten minutes away). Visitors can also go surfing in Arugam Bay (three hours away)
Wilpattu National Park
Drive time from Colombo: Four hours
Wilpattu, Sri Lanka’s largest park, is situated in the dry lowlands of the country’s northwest and has many lakes. The park reopened in 2003 after nearly 15 years of closure. Wilpatu was famous for its leopards. Now visitors also have a chance of seeing barking deer.
