Yala National Park is rather an arid land with the highest density of leopards in the world. While the elusive cat is the star there, 215 species of birds and over 44 diverse mammals call it home. The area is covered mostly with scrub vegetation with over 280 species of plants. Watching different species of birds like the Paradise Flycatcher swaying its tail in the air like a paintbrush, while fluttering from branch to branch is quite endearing. Bee-eaters, eagles, jungle fowls keep giving special appearances while most of the jeeps track the bigger animals. However, allow the wilderness to capture your heart fully, before you capture it on your lenses. Pictures might speak a thousand words, but living in the moment in this jungle will leave you with speechless moments.
