Designated a World Heritage Site for its extraordinary biodiversity and wealth of endemic species, Sinharaja is a truly amazing place for nature lovers and birdwatchers alike.
Discover the wildlife and landscape
The narrow footpaths cutting through the dense virgin forest are best explored with a local guide, while the main tracks passing towering trees and bamboos provide a habitat for birds and mammals including orange minivets, orioles, babblers and the endangered purple faced leaf monkey.
The region’s climate is wet and it is worth getting to the park early in the morning so you can walk for a few hours before the rains.
