National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries
The jungles of Sri Lanka abound in a variety of wildlife,which is surprising for an island of its size in the tropics.From ancient days the elephants and peacock from the Sri Lankan jungles were prize exports to the Kingdoms of East and West.But apart
from these well known examples of the fauna, a visit to the Sri Lankan jungles is to enter a whole new world where nature has largely stayed still.There are few majour national parks.Of these the best known is Ruhunu National Park,at Yala,in the
deep South of the island.The other well known national park,at Wilpattu,is at present closed due to the prevailing conditions in the North of the island. Other than that we have Udawalawe,Maduruoya,
Minnneriya,Wasgamuwa,Randenigala,Singharaja,Galoya national parks and many more.
