Green paradise of Wilpattu national park

Lush greenery, vast bodies of water & wildlife is my idea of paradise ! Spanning between North Western & North Central provinces of Sri Lanka spreaded over a whopping 1316.671 square Kms Wilpattu national park ticks all the boxes. While it is most popular for the magnificent leopards roaming the forest in it's own amenable style majestic elephants roams the forest in herds while sloth bears hunt solo. A couple of varieties of monkeys shows off their playful tree to tree jumping skills while some do hanging acrobatic movements on high branches of giant trees. Crocodiles rule the waters no matter if it is a giant lake or a small pond. Yet you can witness big herds of fearless water buffaloes cooling off their bodies sunk in these waters. Peacocks are in abundance & if you look out for the skies there's always a falcon or an eagle eyeing down for pray flying silently. Deers are always found in big herds while wild boars are found in relatively small herds. A huge variety of birds, reptiles, mammals, fishes & insects are found in this national park & since it boarders the sea you can have your beach therapy as a part of your safari too. My advise is that never ever get down from your jeep & do not add any plastic or other waist in to this paradise of a landscape. Please enjoy some scenery of this national treasure below...
