Sinharaja Forest Reserve

Updated: Oct 12, 2022


Sinharaja Forest reserve is the largest tropical rainforest in Sri Lanka. It is a biodiversity hotspot and one of the natural world heritage sites in the country. More than 60% of the trees are endemic to the country and rare. This is on top of the endemic mammals, insects, birds, and other species found here. It has a significant impact on the region's ecosystem.


Unlike many other national, parks access to Sinharaja is mostly limited by foot. Many travelers stay in Deniyaya or Kudawa. A good ranger or a guide will curtail help when visiting Sinharaja.


The best time to visit is January to March as you can avoid the rainy season.


The best places to stay Mount K Resort, 360 Rainforest, Jansens Bungalow, Mahoora Explorer by Eco team, Sinharaja Birder's Lodge, Rainforest Edge, Sinharaja Forest Gate, Evergreen Villa, and The Rainforest Ecolodge are some of them.
