Udawalawe National Park

Udawalawe National Park is a national park in Sri Lanka that borders the provinces of Sabaragamuwa and Uva. The park was established to offer a safe haven for wild creatures displaced by the construction of the Udawalawe Reservoir on the Walawe River, as well as to safeguard the reservoir's catchment area. The reserve, which includes 30,821 hectares of land, was created on June 30, 1972.

Although there are a few rocky places that provide a lovely background to the breathtaking beauty on display, Udawalawe National Park is dominated by lowlands and marshes. While the park's untamed appearance is appealing, travelers primarily visit to witness the Sri Lankan elephants that wander the flatlands. Udawalawe is a sight to behold, with birds hovering overhead, massive elephants throwing up reddish-brown dust, and mountains in the distance framing the panorama.
