Elephant Gathering in Minneriya National Park in Sri Lanka

IT is indeed a spectacular view to witness, Hundreds of wild elephants gather at one place, during the dry season from July to October water becomes scares in the north central province and wild elephants from all around migrate to Minneriya National Park’s large Minneriya reservoir.  Coined as ‘The Gathering’, over 300 elephants can be seen by the Minneriya water tank.  The number of elephants 'gathering' at this time is known to be the highest in the world – a spectacular sight not to be missed.  Recently the Lonely Planet guide declared the ‘Elephant Gathering’ in Minneriya as the `sixth greatest wildlife spectacle in the world.
