Simply extraordinary & Unforgettable Stay at middle of the Jungle on Leopard Nest!

A good vacation for me is to go to warm weather in a camp site at luxurious nest with the experience of wild life. What is the first place comes to your mind?

For me, It’s Leopard Nest at Yala.

After the restless week I packed my luggage to go to most waited vacation. I reached the camp site within 4 hours via Southern Expressway from Colombo. This is located in very close to Yala National Park.

Yala (යාල) National Park is the most visited and second largest national park in Sri Lanka, bordering the Indian Ocean. 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 is located about 300 kilometers (190 mi) from Colombo. 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.

Leopard nest is a unique campsite that returns the true essence of an ultimate clamping experience with elegance, romance and adventure while minimizing the environmental footprints.  We had a heartiest welcome with Sri Lankan warm Hospitality.

We’ve stayed at the luxurious Tree Nest. It built on the “Palu” tree (Manilkara Hexandra). The tree nest is totally supported by the tree. 

The Tree Nest : Overlooking the green forest with a distance view of the Indian Ocean, The Tree Nest provides a unique experience to the guests. This unit consist with one double room and open deck that gives an enormous opportunity to enjoy the nature whilst enjoying the comfort of a tree house nest at an elevation of 22 feet above the ground level.

It is a mix of perfect ambiance and perfect gateway to the nature. 

Rooms are filled with all the facilities, comfy beds, the outdoor showers are lovely too with superb cleanliness.

We had a perfect candlelight barbecue dinner with the campfire at under the trees, Slight breeze made us feel better perfect. This was remarkable dinner and best spot to have a hearty breakfast too. The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation. Fresh food with full of mouthwatering dishes.

They will offer you the remarkable moments to your life with the taste of Sri Lanka's nature and fauna.

Jeep Safaris with Leopard Nest is not just a normal jeep safari. It gives you a memorable ride through the jungle avoiding the roads that other jeeps are taking. Well experienced naturalists will accompany you during each ride to make sure that you get the maximum out of the half day or full day you spend in the national park. We are located just 6 kms away from the main entrance of Yala National Park and 22kms away from Bundala National Park.

We had a peaceful stay and a wonderful time. In retrospect I wish we stayed longer. Definitely again will mark our foot step very soon. If you want to disconnect from the outer world and spend a perfect vacation with real wildlife experience, no need to think twice, It’s Leopard Nest at Yala.

Climb Parrot Rock, Mirissa

Mirissa is a great place to spend the day and relax. There are plenty of restaurants along the beach to have a meal or a drink and hang out. all over. It is a clean strip of white sand with clear turquoise waters with a few good beach shacks on the other side. 

Mirissa Beach from the top of Parrot Rock

Mirissa Beach is close to the most Southern tip of Sri Lanka and in fact the Indian sub-continent as well. In the morning time you are greeted by gentle colorful sunrises and then the sun crosses directly overhead throughout the day finally ending up give you a breathtaking and memorable sunset.

So, here i'm going to talk about Parrot Rock. 
Once you get to the top, there is this epic view of the perfection that is Mirissa's beach. 

It's the best place to sit and enjoy the sunset or the view of the Indian ocean.

Path to Parrot Rock, Mirissa

Climbing Parrot Rock is one of my favorite things to do in Mirissa. Another one of the top things to do in Mirissa Sri Lanka is to climb to the top of Parrot Rock.

Top of Parrot Rock, Mirissa

Now when I say climb I’m probably over exaggerating. Parrot Rock is the little mound you can see overlooking Mirissa Beach.

The best time is sunset hours. Go for parrot rock to see a sunset. it will be much romantic with less crowd 

It’s a really nice thing to either do around sunrise or sunset to watch the activity starting or wrapping up on the beach.

Sit back, relax, forget all about your trouble and woes and truly take in this magical place. Listen to the sounds of the Indian Ocean and the waves breaking on the beach..

Please be careful. On the way up & down to Parrot Rock, Mirissa

Finally, It can be a bit of a sketchy climb up so please be careful. On the way up & down. 
we walked through knee high water but this will all depend on the tide when you visit. Best not to get in the water during the off season as the currents can be pretty strong.
