Colombo Trip Overview
A day trip to the uncrowded terrains of Bundala National Park is a must-do activity for anyone. Famed for its myriad of exotic winged creatures, embark on an afternoon safari through the national park for the best chance to view these feathered friends! As the park can be visited year-round, there’s always a great chance of spotting a variety of birds, both endemic and migratory to the island. Bundala National Park is one of the best national parks in Sri Lanka for birdwatchers. It’s a wonderland for birdlife, home to almost 200 different species of birds, including some endemic species. Despite being a wonderful park in its own right, Bundala National Park is often overlooked in favor of Yala, Udawalawe or even Kumana National Park. Other parks are generally better for seeing bigger animals, but in terms of bird-life Bundala is an amazing place. On top of that, it’s less visited than other national parks which means you can enjoy the wildlife without the crowds found in Yala!
