Lunugamvehera National Park

About Lunugamvehera National Park

Lunugamvehera National Park lies within the dry southern reaches of Sri Lanka, not far from the town of Tissamaharama. Like other protected areas in this region, it forms part of a broader network of reserves that shelter the island's wildlife from encroaching human activity. Visitors typically explore the park by jeep, following dusty tracks through scrub jungle, open grassland and around seasonal tanks and waterways that draw animals to drink. Birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts come hoping to observe the varied fauna characteristic of Sri Lanka's dry zone. The park serves an important ecological function, acting as a corridor linking neighbouring reserves and supporting conservation efforts across the south-east. Tissamaharama provides a practical base, offering accommodation and safari operators for those planning a visit.
