About

A local business on Sri Lanka, Governors Camp Yala is a hotel in Palatupana, Gurugoda Kirinda, 82614. The setting places guests within the dry-zone landscape that draws wildlife watchers to this corner of the island. It is a base for exploring one of Sri Lanka's premier parks rather than a city hotel.

Governors Camp Yala is known for its position near Yala, where Asian elephants, sloth bears and leopards live in the national park. Guests staying here are typically in the area for game drives and wildlife viewing. The hotel holds a 4.4 out of 5 rating from 24 reviews, which suggests a satisfied but modest stream of visitors. Nearby places such as Galle and Colombo lie further afield for those extending their route.

Five photos of the property are available. No opening hours are listed for the hotel. The address is Palatupana, Gurugoda Kirinda, 82614, Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka has a tropical climate with two monsoon systems bringing rain to different coasts at different times, so the south and east receive their wet seasons in different months. The island was known as Ceylon until 1972, gained independence in 1948, and has ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays. A stay at Governors Camp Yala fits naturally into a wider tour of the island's parks and heritage sites.
