What is Green Season / Wet Season (Wilpattu)?

The period from October to April when the northeast monsoon brings rain to Wilpattu. The villus fill, the landscape turns lush green, and migratory birds arrive. This season offers beautiful scenery, excellent birding, and uncrowded safaris — though mammal sightings are less predictable. Temperatures range from 22-30°C.
