Cinnamon Air DAILY SCHEDULED flights serving YALA through Weerawila

Yala National Park is a breathtaking glimpse into the untamed beauty of Sri Lanka’s wildlife,where monkeys leap through the trees and leopards silently move through the jungle. This breathtaking park offers a rare chance to explore Sri Lanka’s wildlife, from elephants and sloth bears to hundreds of birds.

With six national parks and three wildlife sanctuaries, Yala is one of the best places on earth to spot leopards, with a remarkably high population of these magnificent creatures. Keep an eye out for these majestic predators as they move through the park with grace.

Though sightings of rare animals like the Sri Lankan Leopard or Sloth Bear aren’t guaranteed, early morning or late afternoon safaris offer the best chances. You might even spot male leopards wandering the park during the day.

Set off on a jeep safari and see herds of elephants wandering through the park’s vast landscapes. As you explore Yala West, you’ll find yourself surrounded by scrub jungle, towering rock formations, and brackish lagoons. During drier months, the elephants gather around small reservoirs, often accompanied by wild buffaloes and crocodiles.

For birdwatchers, Yala is a paradise. With over 215 species of birds, including six endemic species, it’s an ideal spot for those wanting to experience the best of Sri Lankan wildlife in its natural habitat.
