Leopard Tracking Safari
Venture into the heart of Yala Block 1 with expert spotters to track the elusive apex predator lounging on massive granite boulders or stalking prey.
Vihaanga Journeys was founded with a clear vision—to present India in its most authentic, comfortable, and meaningful way for global travelers.
Yala National Park is Sri Lanka's most famous and rewarding wildlife reserve. Bordering the sparkling Indian Ocean on the southeastern coast, it offers a stunning mosaic of dense jungles, open grasslands, and beautiful saltwater lagoons. Most famously, Yala boasts one of the highest densities of leopards in the world, making it a premier global destination for big cat photography. Alongside these elusive predators, thrilling open-jeep safaris will bring you face-to-face with majestic Asian elephants, shaggy sloth bears, massive crocodiles, and vibrant peacocks.
February to July. During the dry season (June to July), water levels are lower, drawing leopards, elephants, and other animals out into the open to drink. (Park often closes in September for maintenance).
Experience spectacular glamping in luxury eco-tents just outside the park gates, or enjoy premium wilderness resorts with wildlife viewing decks.
Yala Block 1 (high leopard density), Sithulpawwa ancient rock temple, Kumana National Park border, and scenic pristine beaches inside the park.
Expert-led tracking, thrilling off-road jeep rides, spectacular bird-watching at the lagoons, and tranquil starlit bush dinners.
