Cinnamon Lodge Habarana sits in Habarana, at the centre of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle and the primary base for visiting The Gathering, the world’s largest congregation of wild Asian elephants.
Chalets set within landscaped lakeside grounds, each with a private veranda.
A well-regarded dining programme served within the lodge’s main restaurant overlooking its lake.
Safari excursions to Minneriya and Kaudulla National Parks to witness The Gathering, alongside visits to nearby Sigiriya Rock and Polonnaruwa.
Minneriya and Kaudulla host The Gathering, when up to 300 to 400 wild elephants converge on shrinking reservoirs during the dry season, the largest such congregation recorded anywhere in the world.
The Gathering’s peak season sightings, with hundreds of elephants spread across an open reservoir bed, are among the most dramatic wildlife images obtainable anywhere in Asia.
The lodge supports conservation initiatives around Minneriya and Kaudulla, critical habitat for one of the world’s most significant elephant gatherings.
