Sinharaja Tropical Rain Forest Tour

Sinharaja Tropical Rain Forest Tour

Discover Sri Lanka's natural heritage with a UNESCO World Heritage Rainforest Walk. Explore Sinharaja, one of the world's richest rainforests. On a guided walk through the lush jungle, you'll discover hidden waterfalls, endemic birds and wildlife found nowhere else on Earth, and stunning, untouched landscapes. A pristine corner of nature, the tropical rain forest is an important part of the ecoregion of the island of Sri Lanka. It was saved from deforestation due to its inaccessible location. In 1978, the reserve was included in the global network of biosphere reserves, and in 1988 it was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Sinharaja literally means "Kingdom of the Lion". Its length is 21 km from east to west and 7 km from north to south. This is a real “treasury” of endemic species of flora and fauna: trees, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The forest has existed for millions of years and remembers the times of the supercontinent Gondwana. Endemic birds, rare species of amphibians, reptiles, insects and mammals (for example, leopards and monkeys) live here. Constantly humid, often rains, high air temperatures. An unforgettable experience awaits you in nature - with professional guides and a safe, comfortable transfer from your hotel. We recommend closed shoes and rain protection for this trip.
