The other half of the elephant Gathering — when Minneriya's herds move on, they come here.

A national park around the ancient Kaudulla reservoir, 20 km from Habarana, declared in 2002. Between July and October elephants move here from Minneriya as the water recedes, in herds that can reach several hundred.
