Kaudulla National Park

Kaudulla National Park is regarded as one of the bird watchers' paradise. Historically Kaudulla was famous for one of the irrigation tanks built by King Mahasen. The tank was restored in 1959 attracting a large number of plants and animals. Located in the Polonnaruwa area, this national park attracts most of the tourists who travel here.

It takes about a 3-hour safari trip to most of the area. There is a large number of elephants as well as other animals including leopards in this national park. A lot of tourists do go to Minneriya National Park. Which is bigger and more popular than the Kaudulla. Both are not far from each other.

The best time to visit is in the dry season from July to October. With the water levels lower, it's easier to spot animals coming out of the water tanks. But you can visit this national park throughout the year.

Weather is between 29°C coolest in February and 31°C warmest in April.

Places to stay are EKHO Lake House, Siyanco Holiday Resort, Hotel Sudu Araliya, Tishan Holiday Resort, Agbo Hotel, Giritale Hotel, Honey Tree, Pharo Lake, and Monarch Residence.
