We did our annual family gungle trip to wasgamuwa national park in October 2012.There were 9 of us and booked "Wawul Ebe" circuit bungalow for 2 days.Though the rainy season had begun and it was raining heavily most of the time we got the best out of it by going a fair distance looking for ancient ruins with archealogical value deep inside the jungle cutting trees fallen along the route in muddy and slippery roads. Also we managed to see a fair amount of Birds as well, and it was well worth it as a whole as we were able to relax very much.

You need some skills to negotiate this .
4 Elephants were across the road and fled in to the jungle when they saw us.
