Your airport representative will meet you at the arrival terminal and welcome you to the tour. (We provide you with a knowledgeable, friendly, multilingual guide and transportation in excellent condition, luxurious and comfortable air-conditioned vehicles. Drivers are available on request in any language.) We start our trip to Sigiriya, the first stop on this Special Sri Lanka Wildlife Tour, by receiving you at the airport. You may be able to make a stopover at the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, where you can watch an elephant herd being fed and bathed, depending on when you arrive and are picked up. Alternatively, you might visit the Minneria National Park and go on an afternoon elephant safari. Stay the night at Sigiriya. Located in the centre of Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle, your luxury hotel is tucked away in the tranquilly of nature, making it a haven for nature lovers, time travellers, escapists, and adventurers. Locations where the calm of nature and centuries-old hospitality combine to stimulate the intellect, revitalise the senses, and calm the soul.

You ought to stop by the Sigiriya Rock Fortress while you're there. The solidified lava from a dormant volcano created the unusual Sigiriya Rock. The Lion Staircase, which leads to the ancient palace garden, will be the first striking detail that catches your eye. Sadly, the masonry walls around it and the two lion paws that remain are no longer whole. Among the world's oldest landscaped gardens are the royal gardens. In the past, the Sigiriya Mirror Wall was so polished that the monarch could see himself walking beside it. The heavenly maidens' frescoes depict Apsaras, a stunning figure from Indian mythology who possesses extraordinary abilities. Otherwise, Kaudulla National Park is the focus of this day, where visitors can observe 24 distinct mammal species. Above all, there are roughly 200 wild elephants in the area. There are 435 indigenous bird species in Sri Lanka. Kaudulla National Park's terrain is made up of plains, woods, scrublands, and tiny hills. The park is named for the historic irrigation tank at Kaudulla, which was supplied by a massive canal.

Our next stop is the Knuckles Mountain Range, which is shaped like a closed fist, before moving on to Kandy. Different from the core massif, the isolated Knuckles Range is home to a number of endemic and relic species of plants and animals. These forests are home to almost 34% of Sri Lanka's indigenous species of trees, shrubs, and herbs. The Knuckles National Heritage and Wilderness Area has been designated as a conservation area. Covering an area of 155 square kilometres, it is a popular ecotourism destination in Sri Lanka. Magnificent forest formations, uncommon and endemic species of plants and animals, and stunning mountain views may all be found here. At least 200 different bird species can be found in the Knuckles Range. Spot-wing thrush, Sri Lankan blue magpie, jungle fowl, yellow-fronted barbet, small barbet, Sri Lankan warbler, white-faced starling, Sri Lanka white-eye, black-headed bulbul, yellow-eared bulbul, late blue flycatcher, brown-capped babbler, and Layard's parakeet are among the fifteen species that are native to Sri Lanka. Hiking and mountain biking are the best ways to explore Knuckles. These trails take you across crystal-clear mountain streams, past lush tropical forests, past gushing waterfalls, past tea plantations, and across terraced paddies. Small hill settlements provide a glimpse into Sri Lankan culture and customs. In the evening you have the opportunity to watch a cultural performance by famous Kandy dancers.

104 hectares of historic forest reserve known as the Udawatta Kele Sanctuary (Udawattakele) are located on a hill ridge to the north of Kandy Lake. Udawatta Kele was referred to as "Uda Wasala Watta" in the Kandyan Empire, which translates to "the garden above the royal palace" in Sinhala. With its massive bamboo trees, hardwood trees, excellent birdwatching, and mischievous monkeys, it is a natural paradise. Owing to its convenient accessibility and diverse range of flora and animals, the forest offers significant educational and recreational benefits. Udawatta is famous for variety of birds. Most of Sri Lanka's small and medium-sized mammals can be seen here, as well as huge numbers of lianas. Many people like to watch birds in the forest. The most common are Asian Cole, Barbet, Black Crested Bulbul and Parakeet. Layard's parakeet, Oriental dwarf kingfisher, Sri Lanka hanging parrot and Sri Lanka gray hornbill are some of the other bird species that can be seen in the park. The butterflies present in the park are Blue Mormon, Ceylon Birdwing and the rare Clipper

We travel through the hill country en route to the South Coast, stopping in Ella, the highest settlement in Sri Lanka, and Nuwara Eliya, known as the "tea capital." Numerous tea plantations and picturesque viewpoints may be seen along the route. Those with curiosity can see the entire "making of original Ceylon tea" process, from picking (harvesting) to testing the finished product. We arrive at Udawalawe National Park in the afternoon. Udawalawe is located in the southern part of the island, much like Yala National Park, which was established as Sri Lanka's first national park. One of the most alluring aspects of Udawalawe is the possibility of witnessing the magnificent elephant in its natural environment, which is even visible in the afternoons. At Udawalawe, elephant herds or even multiple elephants may occasionally be seen. There's a very good probability of seeing a herd of Sri Lankan elephants close to rivers and the Udawalawe reservoir. Crocodiles, water buffalo, deer, and elusive leopards are among the other creatures. It is easy to view flocks of birds that are members of numerous different species, such as eagles, parrots, and herons. Elephants taking a bath, eagles building massive nests and peacocks galloping across the plain are just a few of the images at Udawalawe that will stay with you forever. After that spend the night in a luxury hotel in Yala.

You and your smart driver or guide will go on a 4WD Jeep safari early in the morning within Yala National Park. One of the greatest parks in the world for seeing and taking pictures of leopards in the wild is Yala. The park is home to roughly 35 leopards, which is most likely the highest density of any place. Particularly young men appear to be fearless in the Jeep, which makes for some fantastic photo ops. Yala National Park is home to thousands of migratory and native birds as well as bears, monkeys, and wild boar. To mention a few. You can choose to do another safari in the afternoon, or you can just unwind by the pool and watch a variety of animals pass by as they make their way to their resting sites. After that spend the night in a luxury hotel in Yala.

We will transport you back to the airport or your next location in Sri Lanka after you check out of the luxury hotel, via the South and West Coasts. You can also go on to one of our other tours or vacation packages to Sri Lanka. The Sri Lanka Wildlife Tour Package comes to an end.
