Day 10 Ella / Buduruwagala / Yala Or Bundala Reserve / Tissamaharama
Get ready and leave for Tissamaharama, En route visit Buduruwagala. Seven colossal figures carved out of a rock face at Buduruwagala. The rock itself resembles a kneeling elephant with its head bowed down and at the end of the folded trunk is its mouth.
Visit one of the two reserves by private Jeep.
PM, travel for a safari in the Yala National Park and enjoy the wilderness as you cruise around in a jeep. The view of the wild elephants seen in small and large herds are undoubtedly the best thing you will see at Yala. You will also witness herds of spotted deer and the sight of a leopard sunning itself or drinking water at a water hole will be a memorable experience if you are lucky.
(If Yala is closed during September-October the Bundala reserve can be visited instead.)
