visit sinharaja forest
Nature lovers should not miss the Sinharaja forest . The Sinharaja is a biological treasure trove with numerous species of unique fauna and flora, not found anywhere else in the world. It covers about 11,000 hectares of low land rain forest and is a valuable storehouse of scientific knowledge. Dense, dark, muggy and mysterious, Sinharaja Rain Forest is teeming with life. Tall trees with rustling leaves; gigantic ferns and wild orchids; gushing waterfalls and gurgling streams; creaking crickets and butterflies fluttering by – all nature’s wonders, untouched by man. Apart from the very distinct atmosphere, which is created by this great cacophony of noise and movement, Sinharaja is particularly renowned as a hotspot for birdlife. 34 out of 36 bird species endemic to Sri Lanka are found here

Yala National park
Yala national parak gives the best opportunity to witness Sri Lanka’s broad variety of wildlife: colorful painted stork in troops are seen perched at the shores of lagoon where the crocodiles too have chosen to doze off; lovely fantailed peacocks in their resplendent blues and greens parade about amidst the woods where monkeys hang, leap and chatter; in the bush jungle are the Elephants; crossing the tracks and wandering off into the thorny scrub jungle is the star attraction of the park.
