Overview

Kumana National Park is the sixth largest park in Sri Lanka with a land of 35,664 hectares. This was earlier known as Yala East National Park. This park is situated in the Ampara district of the South-east corner of Sri Lanka. The park is 391 kilometers southeast of Colombo on Sri Lanka's southeastern coast. Kumana Bird Sanctuary, declared in 1938, is included within the Kumana National Park.

Kumana National Park is bordered by Kumbukkan Oya from south and Panama from the south east coast. Kumana National Park is renowned for its 200 hectares of mangrove swamp named “Kumana Villu” within the national park which is occasionally flooded with seawater. Kumana is one of the most important bird nesting and breeding grounds in Sri Lanka. 218 species of birds have been recorded in the national park. From September to April tens of thousands of birds migrate to the Kumana swamp area. Rare species such as black-necked stork, lesser adjutant, Eurasian spoonbill, and great thick-knee are breeding inhabitants.

Given a choice between standard camping and premium camping services, the options available are designed to suit almost any type of wildlife enthusiast or visitor.
