Southeastern

Highest density of leopards of any national park in the world — early-morning jeep safaris from Tissamaharama give you a real chance of seeing one in the wild.

A vast mosaic of dry scrubland, monsoon forest, and freshwater lagoons along the southeastern coast — home to elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, and an unusually dense population of leopards.
