Minneriya National Park
Minneriya National Park located in the North Central province of Sri Lanka. The Park consists of mixed evergreen forest and scrub areas and is home to Sri Lanka’s favourites such as sambar deer, leopards and elephants. Large numbers of Sri Lankan elephants are attracted to grass fields on the edges of the reservoir of the dry season. Minneriya National Park also offers many opportunities to spot large water birds. Painted storks, lesser adjutants and spot-billed pelicans can be seen here. Endemic species of birds like the Sri Lankan junglefowl, brown-capped babbler, Sri Lanka grey-hornbill and crimson-fronted barbet are commonly spotted in Minneriya.
