Located in south-west Sri Lanka, Sinharaja Rain Forest is the
country's last viable
area of primary tropical rainforest. More than 60% of the trees are endemic
and many of them are considered rare. There is much endemic wildlife,
especially birds, but the reserve is also home to over 50% of Sri Lanka's
endemic species of mammals and butterflies, as well as many kinds of insects,
reptiles and rare amphibians.

Sri Lanka's tropical rain forest, the Sinharaja is a UNESCO
World Natural Heritage Site. One of the few virgin forests left in the world.
Streams, springs, rivers, waterfalls, leopard, monkeys, butterflies and
moths, rare trees, valuable shrubs and medicinal herbs are all found within
its green canopy. A trek along prescribed paths would provide nature lovers
with a never to be forgotten experience of sights and sounds.
