Yala, Sri Lanka’s most visited national park, is located in the southeastern section of the island, 290 kilometres from the capital Colombo. According to the BBC, the park is divided into five blocks, only two of which are available to the public, making it one of Asia’s top wildlife attractions. Because of the high density of leopards in Block 1, it is frequently visited. However, Block 1 remained a hunting reserve until 1938, and it was only after that that it was recognised as a conservation reserve. Elephants can also be seen grazing in the scrub jungle or ambling over the road, and the wonderful mating dance of the magnificent peacock is one of the most stunning sights at Yala. When the peacock rewards them in this way, the majority of tourists consider the long journey well worth it. This is, without a doubt, the apex of wildlife safaris.
