Sinharaja is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of ecological importance, sheltering a concentration of endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. Walking with knowledgeable local guides reveals mixed-species bird flocks, jewel-coloured butterflies, rare reptiles and ancient trees draped magnificently in mosses and orchids. Most atmospheric in misty early mornings alive with birdsong, Sinharaja rewards those who appreciate the deeper, quieter, humbling wonders of the natural world.
