The experience
A place to make time for
Hurulu Eco Park is the visitor area within Hurulu Forest Reserve near Habarana, managed by the Department of Forest Conservation rather than as a national park. Its dry-zone forest and grassland form part of an important elephant corridor. Visits are vehicle-based; use authorised tracks, avoid crowding wildlife and expect seasonal movement rather than guaranteed sightings.
