Bundala National Park guide — a coastal wetland and RAMSAR site on the south coast, one of Sri Lanka's best spots for flamingos and migratory birds.
Recognised internationally as a wetland of global importance, Bundala's lagoons support one of Sri Lanka's richest concentrations of resident and migratory birds.
Bundala is one of the few reliable places in Sri Lanka to see flocks of greater flamingos, especially during the northern winter migration.
Far fewer jeeps than neighbouring Yala, with a strong focus on birdlife rather than big-cat sightings.
Bundala is close to Tissamaharama and easy to combine with a Yala safari. Background: Bundala National Park on Wikipedia.
Jeep or boat routes along Bundala's lagoons turn up flamingos, painted storks, pelicans and dozens of migratory species in season.
