Experience:

Playing a dominant role in the park’s ecosystem, majestic Sri Lankan elephants are a common sight that safari-goers never tire of. A Hurulu Eco Park Safari also offers sightings of leopards, rusty-spotted cats, star tortoises, jungle fowl, parrots, and hawks, showcasing a variety of ecosystems from dense shrublands to thick forests.

The park provides a temporary residence for herds of elephants migrating between Minneriya and Kaudulla National Parks during Sri Lanka’s dry and flood seasons. Hurulu Eco Park plays a vital role in the survival of elephant populations in the country.

Explore 10,000 hectares of mysterious wilderness that supports the dry zone ecosystem and houses rich wildlife in an evergreen forest. Keep an eye out for incredible wildlife sightings around the scenic Hurulu Wewa reservoir, the heart of the park.

Elephant Migration between Minneriya, Kaudulla and Hurulu Eco Park

There are three national parks in close proximity within that region. They are, (A) the Kaudulla National Park, (B) the Hurulu Eco Park, and (C) the Minneriya National Park. All of the three parks are immensely popular among locals and foreigners the world over for their large herds of elephants. Generally, each year during the months of July to September large groups of elephants are found in the Minneriya National Park and then they migrate to Kaudulla National Park during the months October to November due to high rains and lakes getting filled up. Then the elephants move on to Hurulu Eco Park for the final leg of their migration during the month of December to January.
