Kumana National Park is a wildlife lover’s paradise, renowned for its untouched wilderness, rich biodiversity, and vibrant birdlife. 🦜🌿 Located in Sri Lanka’s southeastern coast, it is one of the best places in the country for birdwatching, home to over 200 species including painted storks, pelicans, and rare migratory birds. The park’s Kumana Villu, a natural swamp lake, serves as a vital nesting ground for these birds. Beyond birds, Kumana is also home to elephants, leopards, crocodiles, and sloth bears, making it a fantastic safari destination. Unlike the busier Yala National Park, Kumana offers a more peaceful and less crowded wildlife experience. The park is deeply connected to history, as ancient Buddhist ruins and cave inscriptions can be found hidden within its jungles. The coastal lagoons and mangrove forests add to its breathtaking natural beauty. It is also considered a sacred land, visited by pilgrims on their way to Kataragama. Whether you're an avid birdwatcher or a nature enthusiast, Kumana promises an unforgettable adventure. 🦩🌳
