Bundala National Park

Yala

Bundala is a separate national park whose coastal lagoons and wetland habitats make birdwatching a particular interest. It forms the core of the wider Bundala Biosphere Reserve. A visit offers a different landscape from Yala, with sightings shaped by season and conditions rather than any promise of particular species.

The experience

Make the most of your visit

  • Coastal lagoons and wetland habitats
  • Birdwatching interest in a distinct national park

Before you go

  • Confirm current park opening, permit requirements, authorised visitor arrangements and the correct entrance. A general map result is not a verified gate.
  • Follow park staff guidance and keep wildlife undisturbed. Allow a separate transfer and visit duration; Bundala is not a Yala block or an automatically included safari stop.

Visitor information
