A major problem in this arae is the conflict between wild elephants and local people.during the harvest season, to watch out for elephants. you can spot various ki ds of tree houses around paddies and on roadsides.
lnside sigiriya site itself,there are at least two tree houses used by night watchmen . try to spot them youself !
wild elephants move out from forests to villages and tnnks at dusk, and stay around until dawn. we strong ly recommend you not to walk around, even in villages, at these hours
