Renowned worldwide for the annual "Elephant Gathering" from June to November, where hundreds of wild elephants meet to feed and bathe around the ancient Minneriya Tank.
Part of the elephant corridor connecting Minneriya and Somawathiya. When Minneriya rains start, elephant herds migrate to the verdant reservoir grasslands of Kaudulla.
A designated biosphere reserve offering consistent elephant encounters throughout the year, especially during December to March when other central parks have high rainfall.
Elephants roam freely between Minneriya, Kaudulla, and Hurulu based on daily weather and reservoir water levels. Our trackers know their exact herd positions every morning.
