About This Destination

Nature lovers will be absolutely thrilled by Lunugamvehera National Park. Lunugamvehera National Park (Sinhala: ලුණුගම්වෙහෙර ජාතික වනෝද්‍යානය) in Sri Lanka was declared in 1995, with the intention of protecting the catchment area of the Lunugamvehera reservoir and wildlife of the area. The national park is an important habitat for water birds and elephants. The catchment area is vital to maintain the water levels of the five tanks in the down stream of Kirindi Oya and wetland characteristics of Bundala National Park. This national park also serves as a corridor for elephants to migrate between Yala National Park and Udawalawe National Park. The national park is situated 261 km (162 mi) southwest from Colombo. After being closed because of the Sri Lankan civil war, the national park is now open to the general public.

Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, visiting Lunugamvehera National Park is an experience you will never forget!
