Bundala National Park

Bundala National Park in Sri Lanka is a globally significant wintering site for migratory waterbirds. Bundala is home to 197 bird species, the most notable of which is the greater flamingo, which migrates in vast numbers. Bundala was declared a wildlife refuge in 1969 and a national park on January 4, 1993. Bundala was the first wetland in Sri Lanka to be designated as a Ramsar site in 1991.

Bundala National Park's marshes, sand dunes, and woods are home to an incredible variety of habitats and a staggering variety of animals. Bundala will surprise and astound any nature enthusiast, with around 200 different varieties of birds nesting inside the park and a real zoo of amphibians and animals on show. Located in southern Sri Lanka, the park is fantastic to explore; sneaking through the deep foliage, lucky visitors may come across the stealthy Indian muntjac or the easily startled mouse deer, which would escape to safety through the wildlife if seen.
