Kaudulla

Kaudulla National Park is a wildlife reserve in Sri Lanka’s North Central region, known especially for wild elephants. Safari drives explore open grasslands, forest and the Kaudulla reservoir, and the park is often combined with visits to nearby Minneriya, Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa. Kaudulla National Park is often combined with Minneriya because wildlife movements can vary with water and seasonal conditions. Habarana and Polonnaruwa are convenient nearby bases, while Sigiriya and the wider Cultural Triangle can be added to create an itinerary mixing safari drives with archaeological sites.
