Nestled in the south-eastern corner of Sri Lanka, Yala National Park is the island’s principle national park and offers the greatest diversity of animal and birdlife in the country. The habitats found in the park are wide-ranging, from freshwater lakes to beaches, rocky outcrops to green plains and jungle. This creates an area of immense biodiversity and is one of the world’s most popular destinations to spot the elusive leopard, who love to lounge on the huge granite boulders that dot the parkland. Yala was opened in 1900 as a wildlife sanctuary, it is now over 12,600km² in size but only a fifth is open to visitors. It is famous for its large number of leopards as well as water buffalos, crocodiles and elephants. The Yala coast is a nesting ground for a number of sea turtles including the Olive Ridleys and leatherbacks.
Thanks a lot Prithika
