Gal Oya – Untouched Wilderness & Boat Safaris in Sri Lanka

Gal Oya, located in the less-explored eastern region of Sri Lanka, is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Home to the Gal Oya National Park and the country’s largest inland lake, Senanayake Samudraya, this area offers a raw, immersive wildlife experience far from the usual tourist routes. What makes Gal Oya truly special is the chance to witness wild elephants swimming between islands — a rare and unforgettable sight. This peaceful region is perfect for travelers seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences, eco-lodges, and one-of-a-kind safaris.
