Yala National Park

A traveller looking to be based at a Sri Lanka beach resort should look to none other than Ranna 212, one of the finest Tangalle hotels. The island’s second largest and most visited national park, Yala consists of five blocks with individual names. Located in the country’s southeast region, the park is well known for its wildlife and plays a major role in the conservation of aquatic birds and Sri Lankan elephants. Within the vicinity of Yala itself are three wildlife sanctuaries and six national parks. Playing host to a diverse array of ecosystems from marine wetlands and freshwater to moist monsoon forests, Yala has long been among the country’s main tourist attractions.
