There are three national parks in close proximity within that region. They are the Minneriya National Park, the Kaudulla National Park, and the Hurulu Eco Park. All three parks are immensely popular among locals and foreigners alike for their large herds of elephants. Generally, each year during the months of July to September, large groups of elephants are found in the Minneriya National Park, and then they migrate to Kaudulla National Park during the months of October to November due to high rains and lakes getting filled up.
