Driving from the park entrance this tank can be reached by taking the road to the left just beyond Kalagedi Bokkuwa. The distance is approximately 3 kilometres from the turn off from the main road.

This is a large tank that has a few boulders and rocky surfaces in the vicinity. A rock pool was also seen and there were signs of many animals including Sloth Bears visiting this Kema. During the dry months Elephants are known to visit this tank regularly.

I visited this tank for the first time on 20th July 2014 and observed that it had plenty of water that would last throughout the dry months. This is an excellent locality for a camp- site.

The author visits Wilpattu National Park regularly and will update this website with his field notes and photographs of individual leopards as well as other species of fauna & flora observed in the park. His primary goal in launching this website is to create awareness among the general public of the fascinating bio diversity of the park and to highlight the importance of protecting it for generations to come. The author’s study of the leopards will be of importance for anyone who may be keen to identify the leopards they photograph in Wilpattu and learn more about them.
