Kaudulla, Minneriya, and Hurulu Eco Park are renowned national parks in Sri Lanka. They offer diverse wildlife experiences amidst breathtaking natural landscapes. Minneriya and Kaudulla are famous for their elephant gatherings, while Hurulu is a haven for birdwatchers with its rich avian biodiversity. These parks embody Sri Lanka's commitment to wildlife conservation and ecotourism.
Ubicado en la histórica ciudad de Polonnaruwa en Sri Lanka, el Parque Nacional Kaudulla ofrece a los viajeros abundantes oportunidades para observar majestuosos elefantes en su hábitat natural. Además de elefantes, también puedes ver ciervos sambar, ciervos axis de Sri Lanka, chevrotain, jabalíes, espátula asiática, águila pescadora cabecigrís, cigüeña pintada y cigüeña de pico abierto. Avistamientos raros pueden incluir leopardos y osos perezosos.
Un recorrido lleno de baches a través del bosque siempre verde por senderos pequeños es una gran aventura que los entusiastas de la vida silvestre no pueden resistir. El embalse de Kaudulla, que es la fuente de vida del parque, atrae manadas de elefantes durante la estación seca desde los cercanos parques nacionales Minneriya, Wasgamuwa y Somawathiya.
De junio a septiembre es el mejor momento para visitar Kaudulla, cuando el parque también ofrece oportunidades para paseos en bote a remo y observación de aves de cerca.
El contraste entre la delgada línea verde de los árboles distantes, el cielo azul, el embalse plateado y los pastizales esmeralda frente a los elefantes negros crea una vista impresionante e inolvidable para los viajeros.

Elephant Migration between Minneriya, Kaudulla and Hurulu Eco Park
There are three national parks in close proximity within that region. They are, (A) the Kaudulla National Park, (B) theHurulu Eco Park, and (C) the Minneriya National Park. All of the three parks are immensely popular among locals and foreigners the world over for their large herds of elephants. Generally, each year during the months of July to September large groups of elephants are found in the Minneriya National Park and then they migrate to Kaudulla National Park during the months October to November due to high rains and lakes getting filled up. Then the elephants move on to Hurulu Eco Park for the final leg of their migration during the month of December to January.
