Eco park Sigiriya is also known as “Hurulu park”, “Sigiriya wildlife reserve” or “Habaran national park”. It is a wildlife reserve located near Habarana on the A9 road. Eco park Sigiriya is a biosphere reserve since January 1977. The wildlife reserve is a habitat for a large number of wild elephants and therefore it is one of the best places to spot wild elephants on the island.
Eco park Sigiriya is a good alternative for Minneriya and Kaudulla national parks, especially in the rainy season.

Négombo (Sri Lanka) - Cette photo est l’une des toutes premières prises à mon arrivée au Sri Lanka. Je venais de m’installer pour quelques jours à Négombo et il me tardait de découvrir la vie locale. A peine sorti de mon hôtel, je suis tombé sur ces petites filles qui attendaient sagement dans un rickshaw. Je crois que le véhicule appartenait au père de l’une des enfants.
La population de l’île est diversifiée, mais les deux principaux groupes communautaires sont les Cinghalais, majoritaires à 75 %, suivis des Tamouls (11,2 %). Si les Cinghalais sont bouddhistes, les Tamouls sont principalement hindous avec une importante proportion chrétienne. Quant aux musulmans, ils représentent 7 % de la population.
Sri Lankan Smile
Negombo (Sri Lanka) - This photo is one of the very first taken when I arrived in Sri Lanka. I had just settled in Negombo for a few days and I was eager to discover the local life. I had barely left my hotel when I came across these little girls waiting patiently in a rickshaw. I think the vehicle belonged to the father of one of the children.
The island's population is diverse, but the two main community groups are the Sinhalese who are the majority at 75% of the population, followed by the Tamils (11.2%). If the Sinhalese are Buddhist, the Tamils are mainly Hindu with a significant Christian proportion. As for Muslims, they represent 7% of the population.

This is a new edit of a photograph I took originally in 2017. It was taken on the southern coast en route from Yala National Park to Galle. The coastline there is gorgeous, the water has that unique shade that only tropical waters have, and it's very, very rocky.

Ramanagara is surrounded by natural granite rocks.In this region the iconic Hindi movie Sholay was shot. It is no surprise that this place is a haven for rock climbers and trekkers. To reach the temple one has to climb around 350 steps. The path leading to the top is enclosed by abundant greenery and the boulders, many of which have figures of Gods on them.

Yala National Park is the most visited and second largest national park in Sri Lanka. The park consists of five blocks, two of which are now open to the public, and also adjoining parks. The blocks have individual names such as, Ruhuna National Park (block 1) and Kumana National Park or 'Yala East' for the adjoining area. It is situated in the southeast region of the country, and lies in Southern Province and Uva Province. The park covers 979 square kilometres (378 sq mi) and is located about 300 kilometres (190 mi) from Colombo. Yala was designated as a wildlife sanctuary in 1900, and, along with Wilpattu was one of the first two national parks in Sri Lanka, having been designated in 1938. The park is best known for its variety of wild animals. It is important for the conservation of Sri Lankan elephants, Sri Lankan leopards and aquatic birds.
