The Great Elephant Gathering

The Great Elephant Gathering in Sri Lanka is one of the most spectacular wildlife events in Asia. Every year, during the dry season from July to October, hundreds of elephants congregate at the Minneriya Tank in Minneriya National Park.

    Visitors can witness herds of up to 300 elephants, including calves, engaged in playful interactions and grazing on the lush grasses. The sight of these majestic creatures against the backdrop of the scenic Minneriya Tank is truly awe-inspiring. This gathering provides a unique opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers to observe elephants in their natural habitat.
