Description: |

Yala National Park is the most visited and second largest
national park in Sri Lanka, bordering the Indian Ocean. The park
consists of five blocks, two of which are now open to the
public, and also adjoining parks. The blocks have individual
names such as, Ruhuna National Park (Block 1), and Kumana
National Park or 'Yala East' for the adjoining area. It is
situated in the southeast region of the country, and lies in
Southern Province and Uva Province. The park covers 979 square
kilometres and is located about 300 kilometres from Colombo.
Yala was designated as a wildlife sanctuary in 1900, and, along
with Wilpattu was one of the first two national parks in Sri
Lanka, having been designated in 1938. The park is best known
for its variety of wild animals. It is important for the
conservation of Sri Lankan elephants, Sri Lankan leopards and
aquatic birds. |
