Bundala – Sri Lanka’s Premier Bird Sanctuary and Coastal Wetland

Bundala National Park, located along Sri Lanka’s southeastern coast, is a paradise for bird lovers and nature enthusiasts. Recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Bundala is home to over 200 species of birds, including the majestic greater flamingo, which visits during the migratory season. Beyond birds, the park also shelters elephants, crocodiles, monkeys, and even sea turtles. With its mix of lagoons, salt pans, and scrub forests, Bundala offers a calm and quiet wildlife experience away from the more crowded parks.
