A designated Ramsar wetland site in Sri Lanka’s deep south, Bundala is one of the island’s most important waterbird habitats and a key wintering site for migratory species from Central Asia and Siberia. Lesser flamingos feed in the coastal lagoons between October and March; painted storks, spoonbills, and over 200 bird species make it a destination of genuine significance for birders. As a complement to Yala on the southern circuit, Bundala adds a wetland and avian dimension that the more celebrated park cannot match.
