Sinharaja Forest Recognized as a Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Sinharaja Forest Reserve is home to numerous rare flora and fauna. The area is covered with rare plants and animals that are endemic to Sri Lanka. It is also considered as the country’s last area of tropical rainforest and is thus of great importance. This reserve spans an area of about 21 km from east to west and 7 km from north to south and densely covered by vegetation that forms a kind of canopy.

Known as "The Lion King", Sinharaja Forest Reserve is a world heritage and is home to a Lots of wildlife and plants. have several paths to enter to this forest and please be careful with footpaths and leeches.We used the deniyaya entrance it was beautiful.we saw several wildlifes on the way. There was a specific area to 'pala polaga' On the way to deep forest and you can see many of them. (refer my pictures) Actually I was work on a research .It was very interesting and we got many experience during my research period. We collected 30 soil samples from different places in sinharaja forest and analysed 15 parameters of surface soil. And I drew a map regarding all the parameters .My team was very supportive . thank you very much all.️ Leave only footsteps

A trip to Sinharaja is a must visit. We went through the Lankagama entrance. There are a large number of waterfalls, animals and plants worth seeing. First, locate the google map from Neluwa to Lankagama. After that you can go .Lankagama is currently building roads with the Army. The roads on the map have changed. But no problem can be found. Goodbye !!

️ I enjoyed two good walks in this forest reserve, where everyone has to walk (except a few locals on motorbikes, But you hardly see them), and all the visitors go with the guide. The guide is very good and helpful and new the animals birds and plants and their Latin names. More paths would be nice.

Literally translated as "The Lion King", Sinharaja Forest Reserve is a #unescoworldheritagesite and is home to a diverse wealth of forests, wildlife, and waterfalls. Wear good shoes, I did carry flip flops just in case too but you need good shoes for the trek. It's worth the experience but you need to be willing to walk along while over hills and trees I used the deniyaya entrance and I did experience leeches (yes I did have salt and repellent on me but those guys find it easy anyway I guess) especially because I took my shoes off at a waterfall for the fish spa. On a network connection, it seems that only Mobitel has good coverage in the jungle, just a tip if you want to communicate with someone. I preferred to be disconnected actually.

Nature lovers paradise in Sri Lanka. Its a restricted forest reserve and the largest rainforest in the country. We travelled via viharhena samangala entrance which is the newest. The track is little treacherous and need caution as its very slippery. Especially avoid footing on rocks & tree roots which will drag you down. You find endemic flora & fauna. Get a good guide. Our guide was a wonderful person and very knowledgeable about this forest. Sinharaja is actually considered a lowland rainforest, but you can find montane areas where the height is above 1000 metres from sea levels. If you pay close attention, you can visibly see the transition of tree height & diameter with the difference in height from sea level. Leeches are common and take precautions. Wear full trousers and put the socks on top of it. Then sprinkle salt on the socks & shoes. Also apply blue soap if available which is the best against leeches. We found two waterfalls connecting in to single river which is very rare. They are pitamangala dola & hollowa dola.
