沿海湿地和拉姆萨尔湿地，拥有泻湖和盐田，是斯里兰卡最好的观鸟公园之一，也是火烈鸟的冬季栖息地。

概述

本达拉保护着东南海岸的一系列浅泻湖、盐田、沙丘和灌木丛，是观鸟者的天堂。北部冬季期间，这里栖息着数以千计的迁徙水鸟，其中最著名的是大群火烈鸟，以及鹈鹕、鹳、朱鹮和燕鸥。大象、鳄鱼、巨蜥和斯里兰卡所有五种海龟也出没在这里。吉普车之旅比邻近的雅拉更安静、更轻松，因此从蒂瑟默哈拉默或汉班托塔出发的半日游非常有意义。

历史

Bundala was designated a wildlife sanctuary in 1969 and upgraded to a national park in 1993. In 1991 it became the first site in Sri Lanka to be recognised as a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, and in 2005 it was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for its outstanding coastal wetland ecosystems and migratory bird populations.
