Hurulu Eco Park
Where Forest Elephants Roam Free
Hurulu Eco Park is a beautiful forest reserve located close to Sigiriya, Habarana, and Dambulla — right in the heart of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle.
This park is part of the important Elephant Migration Corridor connecting Minneriya and Kaudulla, making it a great place to observe wild elephants at any time of the year.
Thick forests, shady jeep tracks, and peaceful natural surroundings make Hurulu Eco Park a unique and adventurous safari experience compared to the open plains of other parks.
🐘 What to Expect
A Hurulu Eco Park safari is a journey through lush jungle habitats where elephants find food, water, and shelter.
Unlike large open grasslands, this park offers closer and more intimate viewing of wildlife, especially elephants, as they move through forest trails.
Visitors can experience:
Elephants walking alongside jeep paths
Young calves playing under the protection of the herd
Fresh elephant footprints and signs of movement
Birds and small animals appearing through the trees
It feels like entering the elephants’ own home — calm, natural, and exciting.
Because the park is covered with greenery, sightings often feel very close and personal, giving amazing opportunities for photography and unforgettable memories.
