Kumana National Park, located on the southeastern coast of Sri Lanka, is a haven for bird lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. The park is world-renowned for its avifauna, particularly the seasonal bird migration that brings thousands of waterfowl and wading birds. The Kumana Villu, a 200-hectare natural swamp lake, is the heart of this sanctuary, attracting species such as painted storks, spoonbills, pelicans, and rare migratory birds from as far as Siberia. Beyond its birdlife, Kumana also supports elephants, leopards, jackals, and a variety of reptiles. The blend of mangroves, lagoons, and scrub jungle creates a uniquely rich ecosystem, making it one of Sri Lanka’s most rewarding wildlife destinations.
