Kumana National Park, located on Sri Lanka’s southeastern coast near Arugam Bay, is a paradise for bird lovers and wilderness explorers. This coastal sanctuary is famed for its seasonal bird migrations, including painted storks, pelicans, and the rare black-necked stork nesting in the Kumana Villu wetlands. Beyond its avian wonders, the park is home to elephants, leopards, crocodiles, and diverse flora along sandy plains and lagoons. Travelers can enjoy off-road safaris, photography, and quiet moments in one of the island’s most peaceful and less-traveled parks. Kumana offers a unique blend of coastal beauty and untamed nature, making it a must-visit for those seeking serenity and wildlife.
