Galway's Land National Park, Montane forest national park in Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka.

The park encompasses 27 hectares of dense mountain forest with marked trails leading through the varied terrain of central Sri Lanka.

The Department of Wildlife Conservation established this protected area as a wildlife sanctuary in 1938 before upgrading it to national park status in 2006.

The Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka recognizes this location as a primary destination for studying native and migratory bird populations.

Visitors can access the park daily from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM through a 2-kilometer walking trail that winds through the mountainous landscape.

The park houses 20 rare migrant bird species and 30 native bird species within its compact boundaries, making it a concentrated hub of avian diversity.
