Best Time To Visit Gal Oya National Park

What is the best time to visit Gal Oya National Park?

The best time to visit Gal Oya National Park is during the summer, typically from March to July to catch glimpses of the elephants swimming from one island to another across the reservoir. If you are planning to come here for a birdwatching expedition, visit in December to April.

It is advisable to opt for a boat or jeep safari in the early morning or late afternoon for more frequent sightings of the birds and animals as they avoid the glare of the scorching sun in the midday; a safari at this time is also an immensely serene experience.
