Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Sinharaja Forest Entrance, Sinharaja Access Road Viharahena, Deniyaya 81500 Sri Lanka
Sinharaja rain forest is situated 120 KM south east of Colombo and considered as an ecological treasure stove. A journey by foot will be a truly authentic jungle experience. Best starting point for visits are Deniyaya Mederipitiya to the East or Kudawa to the North. The last surviving stretch of virgin rainforest in Sri Lanka, Sinharaja is moist and muggy, a murky and mysterious land of exotic colors and wonderful sounds. Trekking here is a truly enriching experience: accompanied by nothing but the sound of gushing waterfalls, gurgling streams and rustling leaves, look out for exotic birds, vibrant reptiles and eye-catching butterflies moving through the trees as the natural surroundings stir the senses.
