Yala National Park, situated in the southeastern region of Sri Lanka, is one of the country’s most iconic and visited wildlife reserves. Covering nearly 979 square kilometers, Yala is famed for its incredible biodiversity and is particularly renowned for its high density of leopards, making it one of the best places in the world to observe these elusive big cats in their natural habitat.
The park’s landscape is a fascinating blend of dense forests, grassy plains, freshwater lakes, and coastal lagoons, creating a varied environment that supports a wide array of wildlife. In addition to leopards, Yala is home to a significant population of Asian elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, and over 200 species of birds, making it a paradise for nature lovers and wildlife photographers.
Yala is divided into five blocks, with Block 1 being the most popular due to its accessibility and the concentration of wildlife. Visitors can embark on guided safari tours that provide a thrilling opportunity to see these animals up close. Early morning and late afternoon safaris are particularly rewarding, as these are the times when animals are most active.
