Wilpattu National Park – Dry Zone Hinterland
- It is a natural forest in the Dry Zone of the northwest, where animals thrive in the ideal conditions with abundant edible vegetation, tropical & dry weather and with many estuaries and lagoons.
- The park lay undisturbed by visitors for many years until the end of the conflict in 2009 , and had a chance to thrive during that time.
- Remote from townships , peacocks, monkeys & elephants somehow seem to thrive as they appear on the scene as soon as one enters the park. Others materialize sooner or later as one goes deeper into the forest passing herds of deer, sambar, gazelle, bear, porcupine, wild boar, buffalo, crocodile, iguana, squirrel, fox, leopards , wild cats & an assortment of birds.
- We encourage visitors to appreciate the intricate ecosystems and diverse life forms in these national parks while respecting the natural environment and wildlife.
