What to expect

    4h · Admission ticket not included
    Minneriya National Park, located in Sri Lanka’s North Central Province, is a wildlife sanctuary famous for its breathtaking scenery and extraordinary elephant gatherings. The park spans over 8,800 hectares and is built around the historic Minneriya Tank, an ancient irrigation reservoir constructed by King Mahasen in the 3rd century AD. This water source plays a crucial role in sustaining the park’s rich ecosystem during the long dry season.
    The park’s main claim to fame is the Great Elephant Gathering, which takes place between July and September each year. During this period, hundreds of wild Asian elephants migrate from surrounding forests to the tank, forming one of the largest wild elephant congregations in the world. Visitors can witness these majestic creatures up close.
