Escape the bustling southern coast and journey deep into the heart of Sri Lanka’s last viable area of primary tropical rainfores, Sinharaja Forest Reserve. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this lush green paradise is a haven for endemic flora and fauna, rare birds, towering hardwood trees, and serene natural streams. This eco-adventure takes you off the beaten path and into a living green cathedral where nature rules supreme.
Breathe in the fresh forest air, listen to the sounds of birdsong echoing through the canopy, and reconnect with nature on this unforgettable day tour from Matara.
Walk through dense jungle trails with a knowledgeable naturalist guide. Spot endemic species like the Sri Lanka blue magpie, purple-faced langur, and giant squirrels.
