    Sunrise to Sunset in Yala

    A Romantic Day Out Itinerary
    Sunrise to sunset in Yala, Sri Lanka’s jungle village, beckons couples seeking the most magical escapes in the south. With luxury glamping and rustic lodging, Yala is a magical destination where you can encounter wildlife and nature’s beautiful landscapes. A romantic itinerary features the best escapes to experience in a day in Yala.

    A Morning Seeking out Leopards and Elephants

    A morning Yala safari is the best time to see Sri Lanka’s elusive leopard. Arriving at the park’s gate as soon as it opens ensures a more peaceful experience, but during the season, expect it to be crowded even at dawn. While elephants and leopards are the biggest draws, Yala is a haven of wildlife and fauna, with over 44 mammals calling this park home.

    Highlights

    Sithulpawwa Monastery

    After the morning safari, visit the ancient hilltop monastery complex of Sithulpawwa. Dating back to the 2nd century B.C., this historic temple was a sacred space for solace and meditation for Buddhist monks who had achieved or aspired to seek enlightenment.

    Highlights

    An evening Safari at Bundala

    If you’ve had your fill of Yala but still crave a slightly different safari, Bundala, with its almost no crowds, brackish lagoons, and marshlands, is a RAMSAR-protected wetland sanctuary. Bundala is one of Sri Lanka’s prime spots for wetland bird watching, and it includes many migratory species and endemic birdlife.

For bespoke dining, some favourites include BBQ and beach sundowners or a table set for two on the beach, set-ups to add intimacy to your day in Yala.

    Conclusion

    The thrill of spotting Sri Lanka’s treasured wildlife at Yala, combined with a touch of history, a luxurious Spa experience, and romantic dining, makes this the perfect romantic itinerary for a couple’s day out in the wild.
