Minneriya National Park – Elephant Gathering
Named by Lonely Planet as the Sixth Greatest Wildlife Spectacle in the world, the ‘Minneriya Elephant Gathering’ is definitely a sight to behold! This amazing phenomenon occurs each year in the months of August and September. Visitors during this season often witness gigantic herds, numbering in the hundreds, make their way to the Minneriya Tank, built way back in the 3rd century, to quench their thirst, bathe and frolic with their young.
