Yala National Park Safari
Commence on another safari drive through the Yala National Park. There are 7 bird species that are endemic to Sri Lanka including the Sri Lankan junglefowl which is the national bird. Watch for the Peacocks here, the flashy birds that are known for their large tail plumage, and brightly coloured heads. Yala has also been a centre of past civilisations.[9] King Ravana, the mythical Hindu anti-hero is believed to have established his kingdom here with Ravana Kotte, now submerged in the sea, as its boundary. A large number of ancient although disrepaired tanks are the evidence of a rich hydraulic and agricultural civilisation dating back to 5th century BC.
