Duration: 3 hours (approximately)
  • Minneriya National Park (Pass by)

    Minneriya National Park, located in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka, is one of the island’s most famous wildlife destinations. Spanning over 8,889 hectares, the park is renowned for its world-famous “Elephant Gathering”, where hundreds of wild Asian elephants converge around the Minneriya reservoir, usually during the dry season (July–September). Beyond elephants, the park is home to leopards, sambar deer, water buffalo, monkeys, crocodiles, and over 150 species of birds, making it a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. Its open grasslands, lush forests, and sparkling water bodies create the perfect environment for spotting animals in their natural habitat. Visitors can explore Minneriya via jeep safaris, which provide safe, close-up views of the wildlife while traveling through scenic trails along the reservoir. The park is an ideal half-day or full-day excursion for travelers staying in Sigiriya, Habarana, or Dambulla.
