“The Crossing” is the sister event of “The Gathering” in Minneriya National Park. It signifies the great mammoth elephants swimming from one island to the other in search of food – hence the name “The Crossing”. It is a lifetime experience where you get to witness swimming elephants, mere several feet away from your boat. This type of nature’s phenomenon must be witnessed from a distance since the elephants are very vulnerable in the water while the swim or “Cross”. The best time to witness “The Crossing” would be during the months of June, July & August when the water level is down & it’s very hard to find water in the nearby forest – Nilgala (which is believed to be the Medicinal Forest of King Budhdhadasa).
