Lunugamvehera National Park, National park in southern Sri Lanka.
Lunugamvehera National Park contains diverse ecosystems including scrubland, forest, wetlands, and a large reservoir covering 3,283 hectares of the total area.
The Sri Lankan government established this protected area in 1995 to safeguard the water catchment of Lunugamvehera reservoir and preserve local wildlife populations.
The park functions as a vital passageway for elephants moving between Yala and Udawalawe National Parks, reflecting Sri Lanka's commitment to wildlife conservation.
Visitors can explore the 23,498-hectare park exclusively through jeep safaris from 6 AM to 6 PM, with experienced drivers guiding through designated tracks.
The park houses 43 mammal species, 183 bird species, 33 reptile species, and serves as a crucial breeding ground for water birds near the reservoir.
