About Wasgamuwa National Park

Wasgamuwa National Park is a lush wildlife sanctuary located in Sri Lanka’s Central Province, offering a rich blend of dense forests, rivers, and reservoirs. It is renowned for its thriving elephant population and diverse fauna, making it a prime destination for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. The park’s relatively untouched environment provides a tranquil setting away from the more crowded national parks. Visitors can enjoy guided jeep safaris that reveal sightings of leopards, sloth bears, and numerous bird species. Wasgamuwa’s landscape features scenic water bodies and ancient ruins, adding cultural interest to the natural beauty. Its accessibility from major cities like Colombo and Kandy makes it an attractive option for a day trip or overnight stay. The park’s commitment to conservation ensures a pristine habitat, offering a unique opportunity to experience Sri Lanka’s wild heart in a peaceful and less commercialized atmosphere.

Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from May to September for optimal wildlife viewing. Pack lightweight clothing, insect repellent, sunscreen, and binoculars. Respect local customs and avoid loud noises in the park. Carry sufficient cash as card payments may not be widely accepted. Stay hydrated and follow park safety guidelines, especially during safaris.
