Kumbuk River Elephant Villa
If Sri Lanka was one of the world’s most enchanting islands, then Kumbuk River is its most spellbinding hideout! The eco resort literally sits on the banks of a lively river that separates Yala National Park from civilization even though the two nearest gates to the park are a breezy 38kms; it’s the same distance to the popular tourist town of Ella. One of tourism world's most spectacular images, the Elephant Villa is in the shape of a 40ft enormous Elephant.
