The Elephant Gathering In Minneriya & Kaudulla National Parks

The Elephant Gathering, listed by Lonely Planet as one of the Top Ten Wildlife Spectacles in the World.

Discover the wonders of Minneriya and Kaudulla National Park, where a 249 square km reservoir, crafted by King Mahasen 15 centuries ago, has transformed into a sanctuary for the elephants that roam in the wild. This wildlife spectacle, is known as the Gathering.

Plan your visit with Hertiance Kandalama, for an extraordinary experience. As the water recedes, lush grasses and tender shoots emerge, drawing in grazing animals. Witness the awe-inspiring sight of “the Gathering,” where herds of elephants, sometimes numbering 200 or more, congregate to feed and bathe in this natural abundance. Immerse yourself in this captivating scene, as we ensure our excursions respect the wildlife and observe the animals responsibly from a distance.
