    Maduru Oya National Park is a national park of Sri Lanka, established under the Mahaweli development project and also acts as a catchment of the Maduru Oya Reservoir. The park was designated on 9 November 1983. Providing a sanctuary to wildlife, especially for elephants and protecting the immediate catchments of five reservoirs are the importance of the park. A community of Vedda people, the indigenous ethnic group of Sri Lanka lives within the park boundary in Henanigala.The park is situated 288 kilometres (179 mi) north-east of Colombo.

    Mahaoya - Aralaganwila road runs through the Maduru Oya National park. It is like you are travelling in some other country.You can see a bunch of Elephants with small ones, at any time. Not only elephants, there are lot more other animals as well. There are many eye catching views on the way. Henanigala temple also can be visited. If you have proper authorisation, you can visit the Maduru Oya dam.
    At least once in your lifetime , you should travel by this road.

    Awesome place for real wild life adventure. Need a 4x4 and a trained guide. Elephants there are not as friendly as Yala.

    Degradation of Precambrian rock has effected in the creation of a mature mantled and undulating peneplain, disturbed by many prominent remnants of erosion (rock outcrops) and ridges. Imposing topographic feature is the 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) long range of rocky mountains of the south-west of the park. The geographical regime includes alluvium deposits and Miocene limestone. The major soil type is the relatively fertile but easily eroded red earth. Water systems of the park made up 15% of the land area, include five reservoirs; Maduru Oya, Ulhitiya, Ratkinda, NDK, and Henanigala reservoirs and tributaries of the Mahaweli and Maduru Oya rivers. Situated in the dry zone of Sri Lanka, the climatic conditions are doinated by the north-east monsoon, which persists from October to February. The mean annual rainfall is 1,650 millimetres (65 in) and the mean annual temperature is about 27 °C (81 °F), and overall evapotranspiration rates usually exceed precipitation levels.

    It's a protected place. You can go there with a permit. There are many animals, including elephants. You can see technique of the Sinhala ancient people. I like this place and you will also like it.

    This is beautiful park,worth visiting.Remember mostly what you are Elephants.Check the price tag of your safari.Don’t pay exorbitant prices to cunning safari riders
    You may explore the area on your own too.You will be able to see elephants by the side of road,but never approach them close,Drive the vehicle slowly and away from them.If you are on a bike never ever go closer

    You can see lots of wild elephants in Maduruoya. Scenic beauty but can look dry during certain periods. Beautiful view near lake in evenings.

    Good place for some wildlife photography. But access is restricted to most due to military bases in the area.
