Explore these two wildlife sanctuaries featuring diverse terrain and exceptional sightings, particularly of the famed Sri Lankan elephant that move between these two Parks. A must-see is ‘The Gathering of Elephants’ at the Minneriya and Kaudulla national parks, a spectacular event which occurs from June to October each year. Each day, a massive gathering of hundreds of elephants emerges from the forest to congregate at the water’s edge of the Minneriya and Kaudulla reservoirs and feed on the lush green grass. This is an extraordinary opportunity to observe the social dynamics of the Sri Lankan elephants.
