🌈 Minneriya National Park Located between Sigiriya Rock and Polonnaruwa, Minneriya National Park may be one of the smaller parks, but it features a vast man-made reservoir. During the dry season, it attracts herds of elephants in search of water and tender grass, sometimes gathering two to three hundred elephants at once. 🌈 Horton Plains National Park Situated west of the Nuwara Eliya region, Horton Plains is the only national park in Sri Lanka where visitors can go hiking. The park is home to a variety of flora and fauna, with the World's End being its most famous attraction. 🌈Udawalawe National Park Located about 200 kilometers southeast of Colombo, this park is home to hundreds of elephants, as well as buffaloes, marsh crocodiles, sambar deer, monkeys, and many bird species due to the presence of reservoirs. 🌈Bundala National Park Located southeast of Colombo, Bundala is an important habitat for flamingos and 197 other species of migratory birds that flock here during the winter season. It is also one of the most significant bird sanctuaries in the world and one of the best places for birdwatching in Sri Lanka. #Sri Lanka# National Parks#trip diary#travel guide#Sri lanka trip#Sri lanka guide#Sri lanka life#Weligama#Udawalawe National Park#Horton Plains National Park# Minneriya National Park
