    Sinharaja 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 3 elephants and the 15 or so leopards are rarely seen.

      Our family had an unforgettable day exploring the lush greenery and diverse wildlife of the rainforest; spotting rare birds was a true highlight. While the trek was a bit more challenging than we anticipated, the stunning views made it all worthwhile.

      Exploring the Sinharaja rainforest from Udawalawa was a highlight for our group, as we wandered through lush greenery and spotted vibrant wildlife. The ride to the trailhead was comfortable, but we found ourselves wishing for a bit more time to soak in the sights along the way. One memorable moment was when we stumbled upon a family of monkeys playing in the trees, which truly felt like a scene from a nature documentary.
