National Park · near Habarana
Kaudulla National Park lies within Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle, close to the town of Habarana, which serves as a convenient base for visitors exploring the region. As with other national parks of this kind, the landscape centres on a large reservoir that draws wildlife, particularly during drier months when animals congregate around the water's edge. Visitors typically join jeep safaris to observe elephants and a variety of bird species moving through the scrub forest and open grassland. The park forms part of a broader network of protected areas in the north-central province, and wildlife corridors link it to neighbouring reserves, allowing elephants to roam between them. Accommodation ranges from lodges in Habarana to camps closer to the park boundary, making it accessible for day trips or longer stays.
