Yala avian eye safari is situated in northern side of yala sanctuary. it is a calm, quiet, zero traffic area which can see wild animals as you desire. You can enter to yala block 3,4,5 at northern direction of yala national park withing 10 minutes from AVIAN EYE. so it is the best entrance among other entrance. It is a home which has warmth love and you can get tasty foods that cook with mothers loving arms. we have only big chalet with two rooms has enough space for four people and big two double beds and attach bathrooms and if you want we can arrange extra single bed. and the other hand AVIAN EYE. in a small quiet , beautiful, eye catching greenery village bit far away from busy city.

I am your guider and manager My name is bhagya hewawasam, I am 27 years old. and I live with my parents next to AVIAN EYE. before i make safari at south side of yala national park (tissamaharama area) but there very busy which mean almost 1500 safari jeeps and difficult to see animals at the park. so, that is the reason I made my AVIAN EYE in northern side of yala national park area there zero traffic area which can see wild animals as you desire. My favorite thing is spend the day with animals. I have 6 years experience about wild lives and jungle and safaris. and I have vast knowledge about the jungle and bio diversity because I spend my childhood with the jungle and wild animals. I am polite condescending guy. come, see and feel the beauty of nature with me.
