Wilpattu National Park

Sri Lanka - Sri Lankan Wildlife

Wilpattu is actually Sri Lankaā€™s largest National Park and has only reopened to visitors in the last couple of years after the conflicts in the northern part of the country.

The park is home to around 50 leopards, the main drawcard, as it offers a much less touristy experience than the national parks down in the south. The park is also home to elephants, spotted deer, sloth bears, wild pigs, crocodiles, and a huge variety of birdlife. There is very limited accommodation at Wilpattu; hence, most visitors would stay nearby Anuradhapura, which is approximately 45 minutesā€™ drive from the parkā€™s entrance.
