Where should I stay near Udawalawe National Park?

ByUdawalawe Safari Specialist

Visitors should remain in the near proximity of the park entrance, especially around the Thimbolketiya or Udawalawe junction areas, which are tailored just for the safari-goers.

The places to stay around the park really cover every budget and your preferred style of accommodation:

  • Luxury Eco Lodges & Tented Camps: These are set on the edge of the park, giving an immersive nature experience, plus all-inclusive safari packages.
  • Mid-Range Hotels: They provide comfortable facilities, a swimming pool, which is crucial for the afternoon heat, and on-site meals.
  • Budget Guesthouses: Managed by local families, they come with very affordable rates, tidy rooms, and genuine home-cooked Sri Lankan food.
