Yala has almost become synonymous with its National Park. But it also has other attractions that make it an ideal vacation destination. Some of the best 5-star hotels in Sri Lanka are found here as well.
Visit Magul Maha Viharaya
This is a great place to witness the opulent heritage in which Sri Lankans take pride – the ancient temple complex, complete with man-made ponds, is truly a sight to behold.
Climb Sithulpawwa
This is a highly-revered temple complex that was built during ancient times. Located within a 37-minute driving distance from Uga Chena Huts, climbing Sithulpawwa Rock will reward you with the lush green views of miles around.
Yala Leopard Centre
If you don’t go on safari at the right time, chances are that you might miss spotting a leopard; however, you can visit this detailed information centre to learn more about this elusive mammal and witness many beautiful photos of it taken by professionals.
Kebiliththa
Hailed as one of the most sacred sites of the country, Kebiliththa can be found located in the heart of Yala National Park. It is immersed in a surreal ambience, created by the surrounding marshes and the age-old trees.
