A Glimpse into Wilpattu National Park
Located in the northwest of Sri Lanka, approximately 180 kilometers from Colombo, Wilpattu National Park spans an impressive 1,317 square kilometers. The name “Wilpattu” means “Land of Lakes,” and true to its name, the park is dotted with over 60 natural lakes or “villus,” which are the lifeblood of the park’s diverse ecosystems. These tranquil water bodies provide a vital source of water for the park’s flora and fauna, making Wilpattu one of the most biodiverse areas in Sri Lanka.
Wildlife Encounters
Wilpattu National Park is renowned for its incredible wildlife. It is home to a rich array of animals, including the elusive Sri Lankan leopard, which is the park’s most famous resident. In fact, Wilpattu is known for having one of the highest leopard densities in the country, offering a thrilling opportunity for visitors to spot these majestic big cats in their natural habitat.
In addition to leopards, the park is inhabited by elephants, sloth bears, spotted deer, sambar deer, and water buffaloes.
