Sinharaja Rain Forest
Sinnharaja
Forest Reserve is a national park and a biodiversity hotspot in Sri Lanka. It
is of international significance and has been designated a Biosphere Reserve
and World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The hilly virgin rainforest, part of the Sri
Lanka lowland rain forests ecoregion, was saved from the worst of commercial
logging by its inaccessibility, and was designated a World Biosphere Reserve in
1978 and a World Heritage Site in 1988. The reserve's name translates as
Kingdom of the Lion. The reserve is only 21 km (13 mi) from east to west, and a
maximum of 7 km (4.3 mi) from north to south, but it is a treasure trove of
endemic species, including trees, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and
mammals.
Because of the dense
vegetation, wildlife is not as easily seen as at dry-zone national parks such
as Yala. There are about 2 elephants and the 15 or so leopards are rarely seen.
The most common larger mammal is the endemic Purple-faced Languor. An
interesting phenomenon is that birds tend to move in mixed feeding flocks,
invariably led by the fearless Greater Racket-tailed Drongo and the noisy
Orange-billed Babbler. Of Sri Lanka's 26 endemic birds, the 20 rainforest
species all occur here, including the elusive Red-faced Malkoha, Green-Billed
Coucal and Sri Lanka Blue Magpie. Reptiles include the endemic Green pit viper
and Hump-nosed vipers, and there are a large variety of amphibians, especially
tree frogs. Invertebrates include the endemic Common Bird wing butterfly and
the inevitable leeches. Take part in a trekking trip of 5 to 6 hours covering
the most important areas of Sinharaja Rain forest .Afternoon village trek
bordering Sinharaja Rain Forest from 3.30 Pm to 6 PM to see different types of
birds.
