Sinharaja Rain Forest is a world
heritage site, which can also be described as a Tropical
Lowland Rainforest or Tropical Wet Evergreen Forest. Whatever
its ‘technical’ name, it is undoubtedly a rich treasure trove
of nature with a great diversity of habitats and a vast
repository of Sri Lanka’s endemic species found nowhere else
in the world.
Bird Watching in this ecosystem is particularly
interesting because it is home to 95% of the endemic birds of
Sri Lanka! Named as a world heritage site in 1989, this
lowland evergreen rain forest is steeped in deep legend and
mystery. The word ‘Sinharaja’ means, Lion (Sinha) King (Raja),
and it is popular belief that the legendary origin of the
Sinhala people is from the union between a princess and the
lion king who once lived in the forest.
