The Gathering, Minneriya National Park

Gathering of elephants at Minneriya NP, Sri Lanka

 

During the drier months of June to September a spectacular event happens at Minneriya national park, known as the 'Gathering'. Up to 300 elephants congregate around the ancient Minneriya water tank which provides an important water source when many other lakes and tanks have dried out. Interestingly, the elephants partaking in the gathering are not all home to Minneriya. Many come from the areas around the park, including from as far as Kaudulla national park.
