Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Minneriya National Park, Maradankadawala-Habarana-Thirukkondaiadimadu Highway, Minneriya 50150 Sri Lanka
Minneriya National Park is reported as the largest known wild Asian Elephant Gathering at one place in the World. Minneriya national park is located 182 kms away from Colombo, in the North Central Plains of Sri Lanka. The major city closest to Minneriya National Park is Polonnaruwa. The Minneriya National Park is famed for its “Elephant Gathering”, a spectacular phenomenon during the long dry seasons, when hundreds of Elephants, both the adults and young along with a few tuskers, sometimes numbering close to 200 (with some sightings claiming close to 700) can be seen feeding on the grasslands bordering the tank, with others cooling off in the giant tank. The park not only includes elephants but also 24 species of mammals, such as endemic monkeys, purple faced langur and toque macaque, sambar and axis deer, the grey slender loris and the less frequently seen Sri Lankan leopard and Sloth bear.
