Top 10 Tours in Yala National Park, Yala National Park
There are many different reasons to add Yala National Park to your must-see list: the chance to go on safari and see a wild boar or majestic Sri Lankan leopard, the winding trails, and the fact that in some places the park even touches the Indian Ocean. However, two of the most popular reasons to visit are Sithulpauwwa, a Buddhist rock temple, and Magul Maha Viharaya, where folklore says an ancient king wed an abandoned princess. The history and artifacts found here transport you back to those ancient times.

Yala - the home of the Leopard, the Bear, the Elephant and countless birds. While elephants and birds are a plenty, only the lucky will see the leopard and the bear. A place for those who wish to relax close to nature. Well, its an exciting kind of relaxation where you leave the hotel before dawn! However, please remember, its their home, not our playground. Please choose a responsible tour operator. With Shehan Safaris we had fantastic tour.

During our 4th stay in Sri Lanka in feb/march 2020, we had the pleasure of of taking part in the Services offered by Dimitours. At first we couldn´t really believe the positiv comments available online but now we´re completly convinced. We had a lot of fun. The tours are comfy, well planned and put in Action. No hassle, no stress. We had a driver as well as a guide, explaining everything in german. Both of them we´re friendly, likeable and easygoing guys. Being able to take part in the decisions, for example: where to rest, eat something or take a detour, is a big plus for us. We like it so much, that we booked a few tours at once. The land, the people, nature, history, sights, the real life - this land has it all. During These tours we stayed in really great hotels aswell. Our tip: with Dimitours you´re guaranteed to have a safe and good time. The full package for a rather cheap price. with regards, Maybritt and Mirko from Berlin

On 27th February we did the “peacock hills, food tasting and ramboda falls” tour. I expected to be joined by others so was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a private tour for my partner and I. From Nuwara Eliya we had 2 hour tuktuk through beautiful mountain area to the foot of a hill, we then walked approximately 30 mins through the forest to the most spectacular view point I have ever seen in my life! Asky was great with taking photos and telling us the history of the area, pointing out what we could see. Following this, we arrived at a hillside shack for the most authentic Sri Lankan brunch ever, roti, dhal, samosa and condiments, all eaten as the locals do with our hands. The best meal I’ve eaten so far in Sri Lanka! A quick tea and local sweet to finish before heading to the tea plantation. A 30 min tour which was informative and interesting before we got to taste all the teas available overlooking the tea fields in a wall to ceiling glass cafe. Naturally we purchased plenty of tea to bring home but it is not obligatory and no one pushed us to do so. Next, full of caffeine, we drove a short while and made the 20 minute trek up to Ramboda Waterfalls. I was blown away by the beauty, it was very quiet with maybe only 10-15 other people at the top of the waterfall, we had a quick dip which was so refreshing after the walk! On the journey back to Nuwara Eliya we made our final stop at a local shop, Asky explained to us that each local village has shops where the women cook different traditional sweets and snacks to sell and make money. The pancake was delicious and aptly eaten the day after British pancake day! We purchased some to take home, it was very pleasing to be able to support the local community in such a way! All in all this trip was the best thing we’ve done, if you want to really experience Sri Lanka like the locals do then this is the trip for you, traditional, private and beautiful! Thank you so so much Asky!

I went on the evening tour with Srimal and it was awesome. We saw many animals elephants, deer, birds, gators, water buffalo, but the best was when he was alerted there was a leopard in the area. We were like the four vehicle to the area. We were about 15 meters away as it sat right next to the road and wasn’t bothered by the jeeps. It sat for a while then laid down. It walked around and were we positioned so we could keep driving ahead instead of backing up in the traffic jam. We walked it for about 15 minutes. It went in the tree for a while then back into the bush. On the way home he stopped and bought some street food for us to try. It was delicious. He would go out of the way to make your trip awesome. Even stopping by the entrance gate for sunset photos. The next morning I booked a half day safari with Nalaka. He did a great job explaining the morning and how it would go. Search for leopard then breakfast and continue with safari. After breakfast we still hadn’t seen a leopard and was giving up hope as most go and sleep for the day. Near the end of the tour he was alerted of a leopard walking around in a different area from the night before. We got there and didn’t see it. We waited and waited and soon it appeared again walking in the brush eventually making its way up a tree for good pictures. Great company with many jeeps keeping an eye out for the leopard. No sloth bear though. I would highly recommend this company. Great pricing like $36 for am group with breakfast. $40 for pm with group.
