What to do and see in Yala National Park, Yala National Park: The Best Sightseeing Tours

March 26, 2022 Matilde Konrad

There are many different reasons to add Yala National Park to your must-see list: the chance to go on safari and see a wild boar or majestic Sri Lankan leopard, the winding trails, and the fact that in some places the park even touches the Indian Ocean. However, two of the most popular reasons to visit are Sithulpauwwa, a Buddhist rock temple, and Magul Maha Viharaya, where folklore says an ancient king wed an abandoned princess. The history and artifacts found here transport you back to those ancient times.

Yala - the home of the Leopard, the Bear, the Elephant and countless birds. While elephants and birds are a plenty, only the lucky will see the leopard and the bear. A place for those who wish to relax close to nature. Well, its an exciting kind of relaxation where you leave the hotel before dawn! However, please remember, its their home, not our playground. Please choose a responsible tour operator. With Shehan Safaris we had fantastic tour.

During our 4th stay in Sri Lanka in feb/march 2020, we had the pleasure of of taking part in the Services offered by Dimitours. At first we couldn´t really believe the positiv comments available online but now we´re completly convinced. We had a lot of fun. The tours are comfy, well planned and put in Action. No hassle, no stress. We had a driver as well as a guide, explaining everything in german. Both of them we´re friendly, likeable and easygoing guys. Being able to take part in the decisions, for example: where to rest, eat something or take a detour, is a big plus for us. We like it so much, that we booked a few tours at once. The land, the people, nature, history, sights, the real life - this land has it all. During These tours we stayed in really great hotels aswell. Our tip: with Dimitours you´re guaranteed to have a safe and good time. The full package for a rather cheap price. with regards, Maybritt and Mirko from Berlin

On 27th February we did the “peacock hills, food tasting and ramboda falls” tour. I expected to be joined by others so was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a private tour for my partner and I. From Nuwara Eliya we had 2 hour tuktuk through beautiful mountain area to the foot of a hill, we then walked approximately 30 mins through the forest to the most spectacular view point I have ever seen in my life! Asky was great with taking photos and telling us the history of the area, pointing out what we could see. Following this, we arrived at a hillside shack for the most authentic Sri Lankan brunch ever, roti, dhal, samosa and condiments, all eaten as the locals do with our hands. The best meal I’ve eaten so far in Sri Lanka! A quick tea and local sweet to finish before heading to the tea plantation. A 30 min tour which was informative and interesting before we got to taste all the teas available overlooking the tea fields in a wall to ceiling glass cafe. Naturally we purchased plenty of tea to bring home but it is not obligatory and no one pushed us to do so. Next, full of caffeine, we drove a short while and made the 20 minute trek up to Ramboda Waterfalls. I was blown away by the beauty, it was very quiet with maybe only 10-15 other people at the top of the waterfall, we had a quick dip which was so refreshing after the walk! On the journey back to Nuwara Eliya we made our final stop at a local shop, Asky explained to us that each local village has shops where the women cook different traditional sweets and snacks to sell and make money. The pancake was delicious and aptly eaten the day after British pancake day! We purchased some to take home, it was very pleasing to be able to support the local community in such a way! All in all this trip was the best thing we’ve done, if you want to really experience Sri Lanka like the locals do then this is the trip for you, traditional, private and beautiful! Thank you so so much Asky!

Our tour started with the pick up from our hotel at Galle fort. Roshan was so friendly and extremely informative. Had a wonderful day with new friends, enjoying the scenery and hiking the Rainforest. This should be in everyone's list when visiting Sri Lanka. Loved the added bonus of Tea factory visit. Guide Wigitha made the day amazing. Although no rain in the rainforest ,this day made the hike a bit less slippery, the flora, fauna and the waterfall -- all made a lovely day. One of our Dreams was to swim under the waterfall, and we got a chance to do it here. Transportation was comfortable and efficient, and the lunch was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour and also this tour company.
