Overview

Step into the stillness of Yala Block 5 and Lunugamvehera National Park, where misty lakes and distant mountains cradle the wild. Far from the crowded trails of Block 1, this serene wilderness invites you to feel the rhythm of nature as leopards roam freely, birds call through the forest canopy, and elephants bathe in glimmering water.

The journey begins in Lunugamvehera, a landscape rich with lakes, grasslands, and forest edges. As the day unfolds, your 4×4 jeep ventures deeper towards Yala Block 5, timed for the magical late-afternoon hours when leopards are most active. Guided by a wildlife expert, each moment is a delicate balance of this untouched ecosystem.

Complete your experience with a packed homemade breakfast or evening snack, and take home a signature wildlife photo collection captured by the photographer — no additional costs. Complimentary pickup is available from Yala, Tissamaharama, and Kataragama, ensuring a seamless start to your wilderness adventure.

Activity itinerary

Yala Block V Enterance
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket not included
Hidden beyond the crowds of Yala Block 1 lies Block 5 – Galge, a sanctuary of raw beauty and quiet drama. Dense forests open into grassy clearings where leopards prowl, elephants wander, and peacocks dance against rugged rock formations. Its remoteness ensures a safari experience that feels personal and untamed — where every encounter happens on nature’s terms. The late-afternoon light paints the terrain in gold, heightening your chance to witness Yala’s iconic leopard in its natural rhythm.
Lunugamvehera National Park
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket not included
Framed by misty mountain ridges and glittering lakes, Lunugamvehera National Park offers a tranquil gateway into Sri Lanka’s southern wilderness. Its sprawling plains and shimmering reservoirs nurture elephants, sambars, crocodiles, and countless waterbirds, creating a living canvas of motion and stillness. This park is a vital wildlife corridor linking Yala and Udawalawe, yet it remains blissfully uncrowded — ideal for travellers seeking peace and authenticity.
