If you are a traveler who likes to be enthralled by forest life, Udawalawe National Park is one of the highest rated sanctuaries to go and see. The park covers almost 31 000 hectares in between the boundaries of both Uva and Sabaragamuwa province, Sri Lanka. Udawalawe National Park was allocated for the purpose of preserving animals that are displaced as a result of the construction of Udawalawe reservoir. This is a place that is always crowded by both local and foreign tourists. But, there is no dearth of space or safari jeeps for you to have an adventurous experience by witnessing the enormous wonder of the animal kingdom, elephants and many other wildlife sceneries. Vishmi Travels assures the travelers who love wildlife not to miss this beautiful place when you visit Sri Lanka.
Nature of the geography
The location of Udawalawe National Park is a medley of both wet and dry zones of the country. Hence, the travelers may experience both warmth and coolness in an equal dose. The land of the park consists of marshes, forests, shrubs, lakes and grasslands.
Adventure of seeing elephants
Even though there is a dense biodiversity of many animals, most tourists come to Udawalawe to witness elephants. If you hire a #safari jeep and go around the park, you will be able to see #wild #elephants. Sometimes, elephants chase the travelers’ vehicles and this is a mile-raising experience if you go with an experienced driver. We do not recommend provoking animals at all. However, elephants being angry at coming guests is a common incident almost all the visitors experience. And, there are tamed and unharmful elephants at Elephant Transit Home in #Udawalawe.
Other animals
Udawalawe National Park is home to many categories of reptiles, mammals and birds. Apart from the majestic elephants who wander around the park, travelers can see dancing #peacocks, #crocodiles, #deers, #buffaloes wallowing in mud, leopards and many other creepers. You won’t be able to witness all of them in one journey.
