    We loved the entire experience of being looked after by the owner Nilantha and Elizabeth and all the staff in such a lovely way but also being in such a simple and authentic environment. The dinner under the stars was standout. The food was great....

Nilantha Vishvanath
Base camp Yala is located in the buffer zone of Yala National Park, only 15 minutes away from the second and less crowded Katagamuwa entrance. The area is dominated by dry deciduous forests, shrub jungles, and dry grasslands that provide habitat to numerous species of wildlife. The area is very important as a wildlife corridor between Yala and Lunugamwehera National parks, that enables the movements of Elephants and other animals.
Nilantha Vishvanath is conservation biologist and environmental educator. Base camp Yala and Trekkers'Hut Knuckles are his initiatives to enable guest to experience the Bio diversity of this beautiful island. Enjoy the luxury in the wild.
