Which attractions can I combine with Udawalawe in one itinerary?

ByUdawalawe Safari Specialist

Because Udawalawe sits right in the middle, it matches up well with the southern coast beaches, the central highlands, and also the nearby old historical sites that people love to see.

Many visitors end up making multi-day routes that string Udawalawe together with a few key places like:

  • The Elephant Transit Home (ETH): This is basically a must; it is added immediately, right outside the park area.
  • Ella and Haputale: A scenic two-hour drive north gets you into the misty tea region.
  • South Coast Beaches: Mirissa, Tangalle, and Hiriketiya are about two hours south, depending on traffic and the road.
  • Sinharaja Forest Reserve: A UNESCO-listed rainforest, sitting just to the west of the park.
