Ruhuna Yala National Park, Sri Lanka
The Ruhuna Yala Group of National Reserves
Ruhuna Yala Group of National Reserves covering over 100,000ha is divided into 5 blocks of which only block 1 is open to the public. The five blocks together with Strict Natural Reserve, Yala East National Park, Kudumbigala sancutaury Buddhist monastery & LHT (Living Heritage Trust) Okanda Heritage Conservation Zone are surrounded by a long strip of buffer zone with the coast to the south. That's a pretty long range.
Henry, the Lone Ranger
It is recorded, in the course of his duties, Henry Englebrecht, the first Camp Warden (1907-1928) of the Ruhuna Yala Group of National Reserves used to traverse Panama, Okanda, Kumana, Yala, Buthawa, Palatupana, Kirinda, Tissamaharama areas finally arriving at Hambantota where he collected his pay packet from the Government authority & also bought his provisions & other necessities, returning along the same route. Did Leonard Woolf, husband of Virgina Woolf, the colonial government agent at Hambatota during 1908-1911 narrate on Englebrecht's journeys & his sexcursions where he saw his wild oats? He traversed his domain by bullocks (ox) cart. Do you dare? No worries, let's make the safari in soft-top jeeps throughout Yala West (Block 1). Easy. As easy as it comes.
Yala West (Block 1) (14,100 ha)
Ruhuna Yala National Park Block 1 on the southeast coast of Sri Lanka is the Island's most visited wildlife reserve of the island. Sri Lanka having been ranked 21st among the large bio-diversity hotspots in the world, eco-tourism in the island has pushed Ruhuna Yala Park to forefront of numerous wildlife reserves of the island.
Access to the park (Block 1)
The park is easily accessible from the coastal highway Colombo -Bentota - Unawatuna - Galle - Tissamaharama. The main gate is at Palatupana, 20 km from Tissamaharama. The other gate is on the Kataragama - Situlpahuwa road.
Terrain of the block 1 of park
The landscape of block 1 runs over a spectrum of terrain: dense jungle, scrub jungle, open savannah, riverine woodland, rock pools, streams, freshwater lakes & a long coastline which curves around Sri Lanka's southeast coast. Pristine natural beaches & high sand dunes of the coast & add a novel dimension to the considerable wildlife nurtured by the range of habitats.
Panaromic views from vantage points
The enormous rocky outcrops, a distinctive feature in the scrub land, provide vantage points to enjoy the beautiful dry-zone landscape of the park. Then again to the south are dunes close to the coast. Of all the vantage points set up by rocky outcrops,Situlpahuwa monastic settlement at Yalas northern end dish out the finest view.
The basic facts
Although Yala is the best park in Sri Lanka for spotting mammals, it is not in the same league as Africa's safari park. There aren't large mammals at every turn; there aren't leopards dangling from every tree.
Nevertheless, Park's wildlife has its own distinctive charm, with its multitude of mammals, & birds.
The park is usually closed late August to mid October.
The best period to see the animals is during the January to May dry season, when animals cluster around water sources in multi-species groups.
Dawn & dusk are the best times of day to witness animals.
Season for Birds
October to December is the best time for bird-spotting, as migrant species arrive to escape the northern winter in the period of October to December
Season for Elephants
The best time to see elephants is during the January to May dry season, when they congregate around the park's lagoons. (However to see vast herds of elephants the best park is Uda Walawe National Park)
Leopards
With over 35 leopards seen in Block 1, Yala West has probably one of the world's dens

Yala (යාල) National Park
Yala (යාල) National Park is the most visited and second largest national park in Sri Lanka, bordering the Indian Ocean. The park consists of five blocks, two of which are now open to the public, and also adjoining parks. The blocks have individual names such as, Ruhuna National Park (Block 1), and Kumana National Park or 'Yala East' for the adjoining area.

The park covers 979 square kilometres (378 sq mi) and is located about 300 kilometres (190 mi) from Colombo. Yala was designated as a wildlife sanctuary in 1900, and, along with Wilpattu was one of the first two national parks in Sri Lanka, having been designated in 1938. The park is best known for its variety of wild animals. It is important for the conservation of Sri Lankan elephants, Sri Lankan leopards and aquatic birds.
There are six national parks and three wildlife sanctuaries in the vicinity of Yala. Among the largest is Lunugamvehera National Park. The park is situated in the dry semi-arid climatic region and rain is received mainly during the northeast monsoon. Yala hosts a variety of ecosystems ranging from moist monsoon forests to freshwater and marine wetlands. It is one of the 70 Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Sri Lanka. Yala harbours 215 bird species including six endemic species of Sri Lanka. The number of mammals that has been recorded from the park is 44, and it has one of the highest leopard densities in the world.
The area around Yala has hosted several ancient civilizations. Two important pilgrim sites, Sithulpahuwa and Magul Vihara, are situated within the park. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami caused severe damage on the Yala National Park and 250 people died in its vicinity. The number of visitors has been on the rise since 2009, after the security situation in the park improved.
