Searching for the Leopards of Yala National Park 🇱🇰
Yala National Park is home to the largest leopard population in the world and in this video I join the Cinnamon Nature Trails team to try and find some individuals. This team uses the identification system set up by the Yala Leopard Diary to tell visitors more about the leopards they find during their safaris. This system is also great for the conservation of leopards. Watch to find out more! 🐆
In my last video, I traveled to Tissamaharama by local bus ➽ • Video

Hi, my name is Ráchelle. 👋🏻
I'm an adventure-loving travel enthusiast with a huge love for off-the-beaten-track adventures. My passion for video and storytelling is what led me to create my KZread channel (Tales of Odyssey) and explore the world. Although I also have some regular travel videos, my heart lies with adventure, outdoors, conservation, and travel that most people are not aware of yet. But of course, I also visit some epic places that you have heard of, and here I love to show you around with my own little twist!
Through my content, I hope to connect you with adventures and purposes around the world to tickle your own curiosity beyond the mainstream!

Elephants, leperds, slot bears, water buffolws, and crocodiles are the main 5 animals at yala and wilpaththu national parks and the pride of Srilankan wildlife. Srilanka is blessed with plenty of wildlife and eco systems. Witch is unbelievable because the tiny size of the country. Though its smaller in size fona flora and natural wonders with 26 national parks, 106 rivers with 120 plus water falls. Any environmental enthusiasts can learn, experiment, and enjoy to the maximum. Hope before you leave you will succeed in your thirst for what ever the dreams you carry. Have a enjoyable and safe stay Much Love from Srilanka

Hahahah.. You have just failed only once my dear whereas I had failed six times and finally I saw the much sought-after leopards myself on my seventh attempt... 🐅🐅❤️😂6⃣ Tnx and this is another exciting video as usaul dear.. Also, you explained very well about the "leopard project" in which you have mentioned about the co-existence of the farmers, leopards and the cattle and it was so happy to see that now all of them live happily and peacefully after the introduction of pens by the leopard project and I guess the issue of leopards wandering out and killing the cattle had been resolved to some extent with this initiative .. 🐆🙏❤️👍 Tnx again for your wonderful efforts on this yala Odyssey and I am waiting with much anticipation for your next exciting tale of Odyssey, sooner rather than later, dear.. Hugs.xoxoxo n good weekend Gams❤️😘❤️😘

True dedication though to give it so many tries! And fantastic news you spotted one on the seventh attempt! That must have been incredible!! 😀 Yes, Project Leopard was very successful in the area even amounting to populations of cattle growing to large amounts, that is why they were able to pause there and hopefully move to a new region soon! I think it is important we remember that conservation goes hand in hand with the communities in the area. Thanks again for watching Gams! Next video is up tonight at 18:00 😎

Hello friend, Nice to meet you back. I'm sorry that you couldn't watch any leopards in Yala National Park, but just give it another try, you can watch them or may be another wildlife park in Sri Lanka, you can watch leopards my friend
💖🌷✌️🙏
I'm happy watch ur video it most interesting. Are u still in Sri Lanka?
You have seen a peacock spreading its tail. This is to mainly attract its female partner. I've heard long long ago when a peacock does this, thats a sign of a rain. I never cared about this fact. Because it was very famous folk words in Sri Lanka from generations to generations. But, today when I was watching your this video I understood that its just not a saying. That's a very correct fact.❤ And I know this forest very well. But you were very lucky as you could spot wild elephants which is very very rare in this Yala. Last time when we were there we couldn't spot any. So you were so lucky. Thanks for this video.
It makes anyone feel so excited to see leopards in Yala. For some reason I have always had the luck of many sightings in all of my visits to yala. in a way this is a good thing because it can be a reason for you to visit Sri Lanka again or visit yala again before you leave🙂. There is a 90% of a chance to see leopards if you do a full day visit to the park. Make sure to have a good river bath and lunch in the jungle next time.
