Horagolla National Park is one of the most recent national stops in Sri Lanka. It is alleged in light of a wealth of Dipterocarpus zeylanicus (hora) trees. The zone was initially proclaimed as a natural life asylum on 5 September 1973 because of its rich biodiversity. Later on 24 June 2004, Horagolla was lifted to national stop status. Horagolla is the main urban stop in the Western Province of Sri Lanka. The recreation center is arranged near Horagolla Walauwa, the home of the Bandaranaike family. The recreation center is arranged somewhere in the range of 40 kilometers (25 mi) from Colombo.
