Nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka, Kalawewa National Park
offers a serene escape into nature, steeped in history and brimming with
wildlife. Originally constructed in the 5th century by King Dathusena, this
ancient reservoir is now part of the park, designated a national park in 2015.
Kalawewa is a seldom-visited haven for eco-tourism, where visitors are likely
to encounter a variety of wildlife.
A guided flat-water kayaking adventure through Kalawewa is an unforgettable way to immerse yourself in the park's pristine beauty. Paddle through wetlands, grasslands, and forest patches while stopping at key watering holes for exclusive wildlife photography opportunities. As you navigate the peaceful waters, keep an eye out for the park's signature residents: the elephants. Remarkably, around seven percent of the male elephants here are tuskers, adding to the allure of this incredible destination.
The best times to experience this magical landscape are early morning or late afternoon when you can witness the sky being painted with vibrant hues during sunrise or sunset. Whether you're a nature lover, a wildlife enthusiast, or simply looking to connect with Sri Lanka's untamed beauty, kayaking in Kalawewa National Park promises a tranquil and awe-inspiring adventure.
