Are there restaurants near Udawalawe National Park?

Yes, there are a lot of places to eat around Udawalawe, from roadside spots that feel very local to restaurants that sit inside guesthouses and eco-lodges.

Most stays along the main Udawalawe-Thanamalwila road tend to have their own dining area, where you get real Sri Lankan rice and curry along with some basic Western meals. For the early morning safaris, lodges usually hand over packed breakfast boxes so you can take them right into the jeep. As for within the national park itself, there are no proper commercial places to dine, so guests should eat before going in or bring their own prepared food.
