Negombo Trip Overview
Visit Yala which is Sri Lanka’s most famous national park. Forming a total area of 1268 sq km of scrub, light forest, grassy plains, and brackish lagoons, it’s very rich in wildlife and you’re virtually certain to encounter elephants, crocodiles, buffaloes, and monkeys.
Explore the natural beauty of kumana national park This 357-sq-km park, once known as Yala East, is much less frequently visited than its busy neighbor, Yala National Park. Consequently, it’s a far less zoo-like experience and it never feels too crowded here, even during high season. Yes, the density of animals is lower, but it’s not rare to spot a leopard, along with elephants, crocodiles, turtles, white cobras, wild buffalo and tons of birds. About a dozen bears live in the park, but they’re rarely seen.the vibrancy that’s a sharp contrast to the museum-like ambiance at Polonnaruwa.
