The town is the main entry point into the Udawalawe National Park which is a major National Park in Sri Lanka which is renowned for its high population of wild Asian elephants. The Udawalawe National Park located approximately 160 km (99 mi) away from Colombo, is the closest national park to Colombo.
The town is also notable, because of the Uda Walawa Reservoir, which was created in 1969, following the construction of a 3.9 km (2.4 mi) dam and a 6MW hydro-electric plant on the Walawe river. The reservoir is the 3rd largest reservoir in Sri Lanka.
Udawalawa Elephant Orphanage, Udawalawa, Sri Lanka Sri Lankan elephants (Elephas maximus maximus) are an endangered species and their survival in their natural habitats is threatened due to human activities. Elephants in the wild are constantly being killed, and many elephant calves become orphaned. In order to support these orphaned elephants, the Department of Wildlife Conservation set up the Elephant Transit Home within Udawalawe National Park with help from the Born Free Foundation. [2] The facility was established under the 29th Amendment to the Fauna and Flora Protection Ordinance Part II. [3]
As of 8 February 2009, 39 orphaned elephant calves were being looked after. [4] The elephant calves are released to the jungle after they become strong enough to survive in their natural habitats. As of 2008, sixty-five elephants had been released to the jungle.
Ahungalla, Ahungalla, Sri Lanka After three hours from the hotel in Ahungalle, Udawalawe National Park will be reached by private car, and we will take you to the safari jeep to start the safari from that place and we are committed to make it the sweetest trip you will ever have in Sri Lanka.

We had a great time on safari with Subhan! He was super knowledgeable about the animals and did his best to find great sights for us. Our favourite moment was when he took us to a group of around 20 elephants who walked right in front of / next to us! We really enjoyed our trip and will book again if we come to Udawalawe again!

We were so lucky with Subhash! You can tell he is experienced and has a lot of knowledge about the elephants. The best thing about Subhash is that he is very patient. He saw a herd of elephants (with babies!) in the distance and suggested that we waited for them to get closer. We were the only car waiting, and we waited for over 30 minutes. It was SO worth the wait! The herd came close - as Subhash had predicted - and we got the best view of them! Our only regret is that we didn’t book 2 tours that week :). We highly recommend booking with Subhash!
