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 TH-cam 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!

Today November 25th added a new zone to yala National park, previously it call The Lunugamvehera National Park but today onwards it also under yala national park this new block is famous for birds. After adding new block total area belong to yala national park will be 125,070 hectares.
That is very interesting! Thanks for leaving this comment behind, love learning things like this!
Lunugamvehera was connected with Yala? Didn't know that. Had a good safari there. It was very unpopular so nobody really came there
@@glue12324 yes yesterday only government announce that extensions. Yes that park unpopular even among locals.
Thank you so much. It is wonderful documentary about my country.
I am really glad you enjoyed! It has been wonderful to experience and learn about Sri Lanka.
The pictures of the wildlife on your safari were great. The roaming of the most beautiful and rare species of animals makes the park truly unique. And your every glowing review makes this park even more amazing about its true purpose.
It was a lovely experience and I am glad you enjoyed the video! These type of places are magical and I glad we still have some. Let's hope around the world we can protect them more for future generations! :)
Hi. I saw that you were celebrating 🎉🎉🎉. I’m celebrating here from Israel with Belvedere
Yes yes yes! Haha awesome for joining with the celebratory drinks! Cheers 😎🍾
loved this, what a stroke of luck seeing the elephants!
I know right. Really beautiful sighting 😍
I'm from srilanka but you know I haven't been there you are so lucky ❤️🙏
Thank you so much for exploring our country and sharing your experiences with the world. ❤❤
And thank you for watching 😊🙏
You have discribed yala national park beautifully...👌👌👌 keep it up...❤❤❤
A very magical place, the landscapes are breathtaking and so diverse! Thanks for watching! 🙏
It is really fun.

Thanks for watching and joining in premiere live chat! Appreciate the support and can't wait to share more videos! Like I mentioned in the chat this Sunday will be the first Ella video! 😄
@@talesofodyssey yeahh Ella should have been awesome 😉. Lets see on Sunday and meet you there on premier.stay safe and enjoy the ride.💐
You are the best youtuber.
Enjoyed it and im not gonna miss your videos 🤣🤣😉😉
my country is really beautiful 🥰
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.
Super
I love this video
Glad you enjoyed it! 😄

Wow very nice video of looking for leopards in yala i really enjoyed the video thanks
Thank you for watching and I appreciate the comment 🤗
@@talesofodyssey u r most welcome mam
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
Definitely a lot of species and natural zones here! Been beautiful to learn about them😊
Dear I like your behaviours and observations it looks like a sciencetist if yu love environment definitely yu are my hero. And blessed yu . Love the animals and environment more more more more more .
Love learning about and experiencing the natural world! I am very glad you are enjoying these videos! Thanks for watching again 😊
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
This is the second video of yours that I watched - YT suggested the first one yesterday. I like the format of them very much - will be watching more :). Thank you for visiting and safe travels here in Sri Lanka, Ráchelle!
That’s so cool to hear you found the videos because TH-cam recommended them! Now I am also curious to know what the first video was haha. Thanks for tuning in! 😁
@@talesofodyssey Hey! the first video was the Local Bus drive to Tissa video 😃
👍❤️
❤️🔥 🇱🇰
Srilanka 🇱🇰
Hahahah.... Tnx dear and you always appreciate my comments... Yes, I was so lucky to see everybody's dream the leopard on my seventh attempt, I guess better late than never... 🐆😉😅😘
I am so excited to see your next video which is going to be aired tonight and I cant wait myself for it!!
Good luck, all the best and stah safe my dear!!
Hugs.xoxoxo
Gams ❤️❤️😘🙏🙏👍
Woohoo I saw you watched! Thanks Gams 🙌🏻
@@talesofodyssey 🙏🙏💕❤️😄
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 😎
Nice "leopard" shirt. And you look like the female vocalist in the metal band " Night Wish"👍🏿
Haha cool 😎
Hi! New subscriber here!
Yeey, awesome! Thanks for joining the journey 😎🙏
Unfortunately that's how it is with nature. I did get the chance to see a leopard hunting a deer in my expedition. I guess it's just being lucky!
Wow!! That sounds like quite the sighting!!
if you want watch elephants you can go gal oya national park .you can see many herds of elephants.do you know?it have jeep safari and boat safari.i think the boat was best than jeepsafari. it have boat safari for watching elephants.if you are lucky you can watch swimming elephants. the boat is going on sennayaka samudra which is the biggest resoiver in sri lanka
❣️❣️❣️❣️💕

🇱🇰 ❤
Thank u visit for my motherland. If u can invite for your friend to visit to sri lanka,
Everybody who has asked me about Sri Lanka, I talk very highly to them about this incredible country! 😊
@@talesofodyssey thank u so much
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.
Wooow that is incredible!! I will not have time to go to Yala anymore this trip I don't think, but I am planning to come back for another trip in the future. This country is too beautiful to experience in just 3 months haha
🇱🇰❤️😊

Eventually I would love to visit Scandinavia! 😄

Can we donate piglets to release in the park so the poor, hungry, leopards can have food?
Many Leopards are killed in traps when they wonder out to human habitations looking for food. Its a crime but it happens.
Very unfortunate, we will need more and more solutions to try and keep humans and wildlife co-existing in peace 😊
