About Minneriya National Park
Minneriya National Park, located in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka, is a renowned wildlife sanctuary celebrated for its large gathering of elephants. Spanning over 8,889 hectares, the park is centered around the ancient Minneriya Tank, a reservoir built by King Mahasen in the 3rd century AD. This reservoir not only adds to the park’s scenic beauty but also serves as a vital water source for wildlife during the dry season.
The park is famous for the “Minneriya Elephant Gathering,” one of the largest wild Asian elephant gatherings in the world. During the dry season, from July to October, hundreds of elephants migrate to the reservoir’s shores to drink, bathe, and socialize, providing a spectacular natural spectacle for visitors. Besides elephants, Minneriya is home to a variety of other wildlife including leopards, sloth bears, deer, and a diverse array of bird species.
The park’s lush forests, wetlands, and grasslands offer a rich and varied habitat, supporting a wide range of flora and fauna. Visitors can explore the park through jeep safaris, which provide an excellent opportunity to observe wildlife up close and enjoy the park’s natural beauty.
Minneriya National Park’s combination of rich biodiversity, historical significance, and stunning landscapes makes it a must-visit destination for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. Whether witnessing the awe-inspiring elephant gatherings or exploring the diverse ecosystems, Minneriya promises an unforgettable experience in the heart of Sri Lanka.
