While Yala National Park garners attention, its lesser-known counterpart, Yala East National Park, offers a more secluded wildlife experience. With fewer visitors, you can fully appreciate the untamed beauty of the park. Embark on a safari to witness the elusive leopards, spot elephants in their natural habitat, and admire the diverse landscapes that range from wetlands to coastal dunes. The lack of crowds provides a more intimate connection with nature, allowing you to immerse yourself in the rhythms of the wild.

Mannar Island, situated off the northwest coast, is a hidden haven of tranquility and natural beauty. Connected to the mainland by the Mannar Causeway, the island offers a unique escape from the tourist trail. The Talaimannar Pier stretching into the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean is a sight to behold, invoking a sense of serenity and contemplation. The Mannar wetlands, home to an array of migratory birds, including the elegant flamingos, are a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.
