Gal Oya National Park - The Crossing

Very good design of the bungalow, a true feeling of calm and serendipity in the middle of the jungle. This place is not crowded and not well known. Service is high quality. Naturalists ca. Show you around and guide you with interesting information about the birds.

Kumana National Park

Kumana National Park spreads over an area of 35,664 hectares. In the west, the park is bordered by River Kumubukkan Oya; to the south is south-eastern coast that runs to Panama. A 200 hectares mangrove swamp called “Kumana Villu” within the Park is subject to occasional inundation with sea water. It is at this swamp that many water birds nest, during the months of May and June. Scattered in the Kumana National Park are several water pools that are favorite spots of the wildlife: Kudawila wewa, Thummulla wewa and Kotalinda wewa.

Nice park with lots of animals, but not many tourists. Plenty of buffalos, wild pigs, deer, we also saw foxes, mongoose and an elephant. Myriad of birds, any bird lover will be thrilled.

Deegavapi Stupa

Reviewed By mytropicaljournal - Colombo, Sri Lanka

An archaeological site with a long history dated back to the 03rd century. The most prominent factor is the place has been visited by the Lord Buddha himself. Remaining of the ancient stupa is available in the site which is the only visible remaining of the ancient time. There are other temple buildings but built in the modern-day. Near the parking area, there are few toy, hats and snack stalls. Hats, scarfs and water are must due to the hot climate. The orange juice sells at stalls is a definite thirst quencher. Might be boring if you are not a fan of archaeological sites. Need to dress appropriately for a temple.

Very calm and quiet temple. Legend says that King Kavan Tissa who ruled Anuradhapura married princess Viharamaha Devi at this place.
