Minneriya National Park

The giant didn't seemed to be too pleased by the noise of the few safari jeeps around him near the Minneriya lake. He fled into the dense forest nearby. It seems like the increasing number of the vehicles entering the national park disturbs their usual life.

Minneriya National Park is located just few hours drive from Polonnaruwa. It is hard to see a variety of species in the park. Still, it is one of the promising parks for Elephant encounters. Best thing about Minneriya is the hundreds of elephants gather to the Minneriya Tank in every evening during the dry season. If you haven't got time to do Yala National Park or Wilpattu National Park, this is the best. It is just a 3-4h Safari.

When I arrived I was a little apprehensive given the external appearance and the general condition of the carpets and lift but once I entered my junior suite then I was delighted. Everything was brand new, lounge, dinning, kitchen and bedroom in mint condition. No utensils or crockery despite having a stove top . The dinning room was really nice and all the food delicious. Every staff member was delightful. One has to measure against the price paid and the third world standard and I would give the hotel a huge tick. ….. especially the dinning.

Location was a tad out of the way and difficult to find. But once you arrived, the property was beautiful! Staff very friendly. Pool rooms have direct access to the pool from your room.
