A national park in Sri Lanka is called Wilpattu National Park (Willu-pattu, "Land of Lakes"). The occurrence of "Willus" (natural lakes), which are rain-fed water basins or depressions with sand rims, makes this park special. The park is situated in Sri Lanka's northwest coast lowland dry zone, 30 kilometers (19 miles) west of Anuradhapura and 26 kilometers (16 miles) north of Puttalam (about 180 kilometers (110 miles) north of Colombo). The park's size is 1,317 km2 (508 sq mi) (131,693 hectares), and its elevation ranges from 0 m to 152 m (0-499 feet). Wilpattu is home to around one hundred and six lakes (Willu) and tanks. The largest and one of the first national parks in Sri Lanka is Wilpattu. The leopard population (Panthera pardus kotiya) in Wilpattu is well known worldwide. The Wilderness and Wildlife Conservation Trust performed a remote camera study in Wilpattu from July to October 2015; forty-nine individual leopards were photographed there. The core area density of the survey region was between that of Horton Plains National Park and Block I of Yala National Park.
Due to security concerns related to the Sri Lankan Civil War, the park was shut down from December 1988 to March 16, 2003, and then reopened to the public sixteen years later. Only around 25% of the park is now accessible to visitors; the rest is covered in deep forest or brush. The months of February through October are the busiest travel times, however there are a few private ecotourism organizations that provide safaris all year round.

Took a speed boat through the Puttalam Lagoon into the Dutch Bay. In deeper waters at this point, looking out for sand banks and starring towards Kalpitiya. An amazing experience during an excursion to the Wilpattu National Park. We drove up on the West Coast via Puttalam. A route that has a lot to complement the experience of travel in Sri Lanka, although it's also a route that's not used by most. #srilanka #puttalam #chilaw #wilpattu #travel #experiences (at Dutch Bay, Sri Lanka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKD5T-NBK1T/?igshid=l8kbwhuqavo0
