“Kurulu Kele”

The unique element of Sri Lanka is that there is always something awe-inspiring and exciting anywhere you choose to travel. Owing to its tropical richness and natural heritage, the country is blessed with a wide variety of flora and fauna, adorning every corner of the land. As the name itself suggests, “Kurulu Kele” is a birds’ sanctuary which is quite famous which attracts a significant amount of visitors on a daily basis.

“Kurulu Kele” is located in the lowland wet zone and was declared as a sanctuary in 1941 due to its abundant bird and plant diversity. However, due to its location in the centre of a city, this sanctuary faces lot of human pressure.

There is no hesitation to visit this location if you are an ardent nature lover since this forest is filled with migrant as well as typical avifauna throughout the year. But what if you are otherwise? It still offers you outstanding views, breathtaking sights for photography and a soothing experience away from the bustle of city-life. If you plan a complete trip, you can head to Dedigama Kota Vehera, which is located not-so-far-away from “Kurulu Kele”
