Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Yala National Park Sri Lanka
Yala is Sri Lanka’s most famous national park, forming a total area of 1268 sq km of scrub, light forest, grassy plains and brackish lagoons with the highest concentration of leopards. The elephant population of Yala is approximately 250-300 individuals, and is broken up into small family groups and loan males. Other mammals include sloth bear, spotted deer, Sambar deer, the occasional Mouse deer, Rusty-spotted cat, and diverse birdlife including raptors, waders, and shorebirds. Travel is year-round except for September and the first half of October when the park is closed for about six weeks. The dry season is the ideal time between February and July as water levels of the park are quite low. November to February brings rain from the NE Monsoon, and a sky painted with vibrant colours with the arrival of migratory birds from central Asia and the Himalaya.
