The Lahugala National Park and the so-called "birds sanctuary" - Kumana National Park, are again open to tourists and local residents. The parks were closed during the long-standing conflict inside the country. After the establishment of peace and the unification of the island at the end of May 2009, the economic activity in the provinces where these two national parks are located began to recover at a rapid pace, especially in tourism.

The reservoir of Kumana Veva and surrounding mangrove groves have become a real paradise for the habitat of rare birds, which Sri Lanka is so famous for. In the park you can find a rare stork with a black neck, as well as leopards and elephants.

Lahugala National Park is located 15 km from Arugam Bay. There is a large reservoir Lahugala, evergreen forests, as well as the park is famous for its majestic pink trees and satin trees (a view of the South Asian tree, whose bark is like an atlas), especially beautiful and fascinating stand out against the setting sun. The park is known for its elephant population (about 150), as well as some species of birds, such as the white heron.
