Gal Oya National Park Safari - Nilgala Entrance

Welcome to Gal Oya National Park, where the Nilgala Entrance opens the door to a world of natural beauty and rich history, near the ancient Royal Herbal Forest.

Birdwatching is a highlight here, with a stunning array of feathered residents enchanting every visitor. As you embark on your safari, the melodies of chirping birds accompany you. While the sights of elephants are rare at Nilgala, you may spot sloth bears, sambur deer, elusive jackals, and other wildlife in this captivating forest. For guaranteed elephant sightings, the Hathpotha Entrance is your best bet.

CCT Sri Lanka offers thrilling treks to the breathtaking Makara Cascading Waterfall within the park, where the soothing sounds of rushing water create a serene backdrop. Though smaller than Yala National Park and Wilpattu National Park, Gal Oya’s intimate charm and diverse ecosystems invite leisurely exploration and memorable wildlife encounters.

Join us for an unforgettable safari from the Nilgala Entrance, where the enchanting landscapes of Gal Oya await, promising moments of wonder and connection with nature.
