Sri Lanka’s Crown Jewel of Biodiversity
Sinharaja Rain Forest is Sri Lanka’s last remaining viable area of primary tropical rainforest. Spanning across 8,864 hectares, this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is a hotspot for global biodiversity where over 60% of trees and 50% of endemic wildlife species in Sri Lanka are preserved.
Stepping beneath Sinharaja’s dense emerald canopy feels like journeying back millions of years into an undisturbed prehistoric paradise.
