Yala National Park in Sri Lanka is a stunning natural wonder that draws visitors from all over the world. Located in the southeastern part of the island, it spans over 979 square kilometers and is known for its diverse ecosystems, including scrublands, forests, and lagoons. The park is home to an impressive array of wildlife, including leopards, elephants, and a variety of bird species, making it a paradise for nature lovers and photographers alike.

The high density of leopards make Yala extremely popular. There are armies of jeeps, queues to get everywhere and often crowds around wildlife. We're not saying not to go but be very aware of what the experience will be like going in
