What is the quietest time of year to visit Udawalawe?

The calmest time to go to Udawalawe is during the shoulder months of October and November, right when the monsoon rains start, and the visitor numbers thin out quite a lot.

Even if the heavier rain can, now and then, mess with safari timing, and those dirt tracks become very slick, the reduced jeep presence gives you a much more close-up and quiet nature encounter. In this season, the park turns into a lively green scenery, and places to stay often list lower off-season prices than you would expect.
