For a small island, Sri Lanka has a lot of National Parks. These locations are among the most visited in the country. Thus, to control the influx of travellers and maintain conservation efforts, the Department of Wildlife Conservation has an e – booking system. Read this guide to get yourself started!
What is the online ticket system?
The ticketing system maintained by Wildlife authorities allows would-be travellers to identify the Parks they want to visit, and book and pay for their tickets in advance.
How safe is it?
The whole portal is run by Government authorities and is bound to protect the information provided by guests. Personal and financial data is safeguarded under encryption and data protection laws.
Benefits of the system
Significantly, the system controls the number of visitors to the parks. Guests who obtain online tickets get entry even during peak seasons when the number of guests is controlled. Pre-booking minimises waiting times and provides visitors with more time to explore the park.
What National Parks are covered?
The e-ticketing system covers several parks like Yala National Park, Minneriya National Park, Wilpattu National Park, Udawalawe National Park and Horton Plains National Park. And after a thrilling day of wildlife encounters, don’t forget to check out a restaurant in Mirissa, where you can indulge in delicious seafood and local cuisine. Later, unwind and relax at a property such as Lantern Boutique Hotel.
