Wildlife in Sri Lanka

According to historical records the first wildlife sanctuary in the world was established in Sri Lanka in the ancient times when a Buddhist monk reminded a mighty Sinhalese king that the animals and birds also have a right to live.

Some of the important wildlife sanctuaries located in different parts of Sri Lanka are Minneriya Sanctuary, Wasgamuwa National Park, Handapanagala, Udawalawe Park, Yala National Park and the Bundala sanctuary.

Travour offers online wildlife tour booking for wildlife safaris to the various wildlife sanctuaries located in different parts of Sri Lanka.

About 14 percent of the Sri Lankan Island is dedicated to wildlife sanctuaries, national parks and nature reserves.

A large variety of fauna found in Sri Lanka is of Indian origin as in the ancient past Sri Lanka was

joined to the Indian mainland by a strip of land that is now submerged under the sea. Though quite a few animal species found in Sri Lanka are endemic to this tiny island country.

During your wildlife tours to Sri Lanka with Travour you will discover to your excitement and wonder that there are more than 240 species of butterflies that are endemic to the region. Sri Lanka is a storehouse of a very rich and flourishing marine life.

Some of the commonly spotted animals at the wildlife sanctuaries in Sri Lanka include the leopard and other animals from the cat family, sloth bear, deer, reptiles, amphibians and other animals.

Enjoy thrilling wildlife jeep safaris to the Handapanagala wildlife reserve; take a leisure bird watching or butterfly spotting stroll on the luxuriant and dense greens at the Yala National Park.
