Why Visit Kaudulla National Park?
Kaudulla National Park is renowned for its lush greenery, serene lakes, and, most notably, its incredible elephant population. The park spans over 6,900 hectares and is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a hotspot for biodiversity. Whether you’re a wildlife photographer, a bird watcher, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, Kaudulla has something to offer.
The Elephant Gathering
One of the most spectacular sights at Kaudulla National Park is the annual “Elephant Gathering.” This event, which typically occurs between August and December, sees hundreds of elephants congregating around the Kaudulla Reservoir. It’s one of the largest gatherings of Asian elephants in the world and provides a unique opportunity to witness these majestic creatures up close in their natural habitat. Imagine watching a herd of elephants, young and old, playing, feeding, and interacting by the water’s edge – it’s a sight you’ll cherish forever.
Birdwatcher’s Paradise
Kaudulla is also a paradise for bird lovers. The park is home to over 160 species of birds, including both resident and migratory species. From the colorful peafowl to the elusive grey-headed fish eagle, the park offers plenty of opportunities to spot some of Sri Lanka’s most iconic bird species. Bring your binoculars and camera, as every turn in the park offers a new avian wonder.
Rich Biodiversity
In addition to elephants and birds, Kaudulla National Park is home to a wide array of other wildlife. Visitors might encounter leopards, sloth bears, deer, wild boar, and a variety of reptiles and amphibians.
