Hidden in the heart of the wet zone on the south western mountains, the Sinharaja Forest Reserve continues to ward off the threat of modernity to give us a glimpse of how paradise should really be. A World Heritage Site and considered as one of the most distinctive and important biospheres, it has an immense diversity of endemic fauna and flora, most of which are found only at Sinharaja.

That includes more than 60% of the trees, 50% of mammals, butterflies, insects, reptiles, fish and amphibians with over 21 endemic bird species too.
