Galway's Land National Park

One of Sri Lanka's newest (2007) and smallest (29 sq hectares) national parks, Galway's Land is a dense patch of montane forest a couple of kilometres east of town. It is renowned for its birdlife, including seven Sri Lankan endemic species, as well as giant squirrels, wild boars, barking deer and other mammals. There's very little on-site information, but there's a 2km-long walking trail from the ticket office. Add 8% VAT to ticket prices.
