Yala Sri Lanka

Yala National Park is the most visited and second largest national park in Sri Lanka. The park consists of five blocks, two of which are now open to the public, and also adjoining parks.

This is Jungle Book brought to life, a scenic protected environment that nurtures the best of Sri Lanka’s amazing and diverse wildlife. Elephants, leopards, sloth bears, monkeys, alligators, multicolored exotic birds, they are all here, and the unique region of woodland and open grasslands is a hugely popular destination.

Yala National Park

With trumpeting elephants, monkeys crashing through the trees, peacocks in their finest frocks and cunning leopards sliding like shadows through the undergrowth, Yala National Park (also known as Ruhunu) is The Jungle Book brought to glorious life. This vast region of dry woodland and open patches of grasslands is the big draw of this corner of Sri Lanka, and though it’s far from Kenya, a safari here is well worth all the time, effort and cost.The entrance fees are payable at the main office, which is near the entrance, some 21km from Tissa. There are a few displays here of the pickled and stuffed variety. The road from Tissa is rough but passable, although a 4WD is necessary once in the park - See more at: http://www.selcoholidays.com/your-sri-lanka/lonely-planet-review-yala-national-park#sthash.nQT5l9Kn.dpuf
