Udavalave National Park is located in the southern part of Sri Lanka on the border of the province of Sabaragamuva and the province of Uva, 165 km from the capital - the city of Colombo. The park is a nature reserve on the plateau, in which you can see first-hand the rarest representatives of the flora and fauna of Sri Lanka. Udawalawe National Park was established on June 30, 1972 as the fifth national park of Sri Lanka. The park has the largest reservoir in the area - Uda Walawe Reservoir, the area of which reaches nearly 3,500 hectares. The total area of the Udawalawe National Park is almost 31,000 hectares, making the park one of the most extensive parks on the island. Here you can watch the herds of slowly grazing elephants, buffalos, goats or stop near frolicing monkeys. The true adornment of the Udavalawe National Park are males-peacocks, which captivate the eye with their unusual plumage and dances that they perform in front of females to achieve their location. In addition, here you can find a leopard and many endemic species of birds.
