Yala National Park is a national park in Sri Lanka. The reserve covers 979 kmĀ², although only the original 141 kmĀ² are open to the public. Much of the reserve is parkland, but it also contains jungle, beaches, freshwater lakes and rivers and scrubland. The latter zone is punctuated with enormous rocky outcrops. The range of habitats give rise to a good range of wildlife. Yala has the world's highest concentration of Leopards, although seeing this largely nocturnal carnivore still requires some luck. There are good numbers of Asian Elephants, Crocodile, Wild Boar, Water Buffalo and Grey langurs amongst other large animals.

Dikwella (Dickwella) is a charming little village on Sri Lanka's scenic South Coast. Still undiscovered by mass tourism, the beautiful beaches and the calm tropical life-style attract surfers and travelers from all over the world. Dikwella is as close as you can get to the authentic Southern Sri Lankan village life. Shady coconut plantations, picturesque stilt fishermen and white, deserted beaches are the prefect background for a relaxed holiday in Sri Lanka.

Kataragama is a multi-religious sacred city as it contains an Islamic Mosque within its temple complex as well. In spite of the differences of caste and creed, all Sri Lankans show great reverence to God Kataragama.
