We have received the following advice:
“We would like to bring to your notice that, as per the Department of Wildlife, Yala National Park will be closed to visitors between 1st to 30th September.
The annual park closure was put on hold for a few years in the recent past due to various influences, but we believe that it’s a welcome decision to have an undisturbed park at least for a month during the drought.”
