Yala National Park is home to an estimated 100 to 120 Sri Lankan leopards, so it ranks among the highest leopard densities anywhere, like really high.

Pidurangala is often the better choice overall, because from its summit you get a clear, unobstructed panoramic view and you actually see the iconic Sigiriya Rock fortress itself.
