Yala National Park

Yala National Park locates at southeast coast of Sri Lanka and within a semi-arid region, and close to Tissa. It is the largest national park including five regions and only two open to visitors. There were 140 bird species recorded which includes hornbills, kingfishers, eagles. It is also one of the best sites for shore-bird. In addition, the Park holds the best chance (probably worldwide) for leopard watching but we missed.
