In Sri Lanka’s southeast, a well-known wildlife sanctuary called Yala National Park is located. With a total area of over 979 square kilometers (378 square miles), it is one of the most well-known and largest national parks in the entire country. Yala National Park, which was created in 1938, is recognised for the variety of ecosystems it supports, the number of species of wildlife it is home to, and its biodiversity. Tissamaharama serves as the main entry point into Yala National Park, which is accessible from a number of Sri Lankan cities and towns. Although the park is often available all year round to visitors, it is recommended to find out the ideal time to go based on the weather and wildlife observations.
Yala National Park has historical value as well. Ancient Sri Lankan royalty used it as their hunting grounds. Now, visitors can explore historic sites like the Sithulpawwa Rock Temple, which features intricate carvings and frescoes. Yala National Park is famously known for their wildlife safaris, where visitors can travel into the park’s wilderness in safari vehicles that are designed for these excursions. Each of the park’s various zones offers a unique safari experience. Safaris in the morning and late afternoon offer chances to see park animals in its natural setting. Delux Holidays is here to make your holiday to Yala exceptional! Contact Tour Operator to Sri Lanka – Delux Holidays to visit Yala.
Yala National Park includes dense jungles, dry forests, grasslands, and coastal regions, providing a habitat for many different kinds of animals. The hidden Sri Lankan leopards are among the most sought-after and they are most noticeable during the dry season. Asian elephants, sloth bears, different species of deer, wild boars, and an incredible variety of birdlife of more than 200 species are all present in the park. Further, the coastal areas of Yala are home to aquatic creatures like saltwater crocodiles, and the park’s carefully guided safaris provide you with chances to see smaller mammals, reptiles, insects, and butterflies.
Yala National Park not only provides a fantastic opportunity to see animals in its natural setting, but it also has a rich cultural legacy, including two ancient temples that are located inside the park’s boundaries and have been scrupulously preserved. These temples are Sithulpahuwa and Magul Vihara. These beautiful sceneries will want you to come back to take a second (or even a third) look!
Yala National Park can be an interesting and entertaining experience for both you and your kids. When deciding how long the safari will go, keep your kids’ ages and physical capabilities in mind. Insist on taking safety steps like staying seated in the safari jeep, keeping the volume down, and staying away from feeding or petting animals. In the end, this helps children develop a stronger bond with nature and a sense of caring for the environment.
The ideal time you may need to explore Yala National Park is for at least one night and two days but this can change as well. It takes around 5 hours to completely tour the entire park, take part in all the main activities, including the safari, observing the wildlife, beach exploration, and see all the key attractions that are within the park itself. It’s recommended for you to check with your tour guide to know more information.
