Hotels in Wilpattu National Park, Sri Lanka

Wilpattu National Park sits in Sri Lanka's northwest dry zone, with a tropical climate averaging 86°F (30°C) year-round. It's the country's oldest and largest wildlife park, famous for its leopard population and unique 'villus' (natural lakes) that attract elephants and sloth bears. The dry season from May to September offers clear trails for jeep safaris to spot leopards, while the rainy season from October to January brings lush green landscapes and fewer crowds for budget-friendly self-drives.
