  • The national park of Yala, Sri Lanka

Lying on the south-east of the island, the Yala national park (the most visited on the island) has a surface area of 580 square miles. This former hunting ground, transformed into a nature park in 1938, houses amazing and varied wildlife. Elephants, panthers, wild buffaloes, black bear, jackals and monkeys are animals that populate these vast expanses of land. Archeological sites have been discovered and restored on the banks of the Katagamuwa lake.
