Located in the historic city of Polonnaruwa in Sri Lanka, Kaudulla national park presents an ample of opportunities for travellers to spot majestic elephants in their natural habitats.In addition to the elephants, sambar deer, Sri Lankan axis deer, chevrotain, wild boar, Asian spoonbill, grey-headed fish eagle, painted stork and openbill stork are common visuals at the park. Aside from these, one could rarely capture the glimpse of leopard and sloth bear in the forest.
Going on a bumpy ride through an evergreen forest of Kaudulla national park along the small trails is a great adventure, wildlife enthusiasts can’t say ‘NO’ to. The Kaudulla reservoir being the life blood to the wildlife of the park, attracts herds of elephants during the dry season from nearby Minneriya, Wasgamuwa and Somawathiya national parks.
June to September being the best time to go on a Kaudulla Safari, the national park offers you the opportunity to go on a paddle boat ride and capture birds at a close range in their natural habitats.
The thin green line of trees at distance along with the blue sky and silvery reservoir and the emerald green grassland that contrast the rock black elephants is quite a scenery that charm travellers around the world.
Hurulu Eco Park
Hurulu Eco Park is located in Habarana, in Sri Lanka’s North Central Province. Visitors are indeed in for a treat of Sri Lankan culture and heritage, but they can also relish in the beautiful landscape and wildlife of Sri Lanka and its thriving eco system with a variety of creatures. Just outside of Habarana lies the Hurulu National Park, at the edge of the Hurulu Forest Reserve.
Close by lie numerous protected areas, such as the Ritigila strict nature reserve and Wasgamuwa National Park. This reserve serves as a natural habitat for the Sri Lankan elephants, and tourists can enjoy jeep safaris arranged in order to get an up-close look at these giant mammals. Tourists also have the chance of seeing other endemic animals like the Sri Lankan leopard and jungle fowl.
There is a dry spell of three to six months, from around June to November, but a visit excluding these months will be promising. With a jungle corridor connecting the Hurulu Eco Park and the two other larger national parks nearby (Minneriya and Kaudulla), herds of elephants are free to move among the three parks, so the chances of witnessing elephants are high for elephant enthusiasts.
