Bundala National Park is an internationally important wintering ground for migratory waterbirds. The park consists of a complex of lagoons, sand dunes, and scrub jungle. It is a vital habitat for massive flocks of greater flamingos, pelicans, and painted storks. Crocodiles, elephants, and marine turtles also frequent the park's pristine beaches, making it an incredibly diverse ecosystem.
October to March is best for migratory waterbirds, including flamingos, pelicans, and painted storks. Year-round for resident wildlife including elephants and crocodiles.
