Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary

Declared a protected area in 1938, Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary remains one of the region’s most important wildlife habitats. Its diverse ecosystems—tidal lagoons, mangrove forests, and grasslands—support a rich variety of birdlife and marine species. The sanctuary is home to several globally threatened bird species as well as numerous endangered reptiles, making conservation efforts here especially vital. Visitors can enjoy peaceful boat rides or explore jungle trails for a more immersive experience.
