THE MIRACLE OF THE ASIA

Udawalawa National Park.

Udawalawa National Park. :-  Udawalawa was recently established as a National Park to conserve the catchment area of the reservoir and to provide a refuge for wildlife displaced by the opening up of forests for agriculture in the lower reaches of the Walawe river. This park, declared as a National Park on the 30th of june 1972, covers an area of 30,821 hectares. It is regarded mainly as a habitat of Elephants, but it also replete with a wide variety of fauna and flower and is home to the endemic Spur Fowl, jungle fowl, Gray Hornbill and Brown-capped Babbler.

SINHARAJA FOREST RESERVE

SINHARAJA FOREST RESERVE :-  The sinharaja Forest is recognized by UNESCO as part of list international Network of Biosphere Reserve. Spanning 11,187 hectares, this unique rain forest nurtures not only magnificent tree species that top 40 metres in height, but also medicinal plants such as the Maha Hedaya'. Endemism extends beyond exotic flora to butterflies, a dozen endemic species of birds and even the rare Ramanella palmata, the only microhylid (genus of frog) recorded so far. The incalculable value of sinharaja is perhaps best captured in the simple, but effective exhortation to visitors; " Please leave it as you fiend it".  

THE KNUCKLES RANGE

THE  KNUCKLES  RANGE :-This mountain range was khristened "Kunckles" by a European visitor because of its resemblance to the back of a clenched fist. Most Sri Lankan climatic conditions exist within 159 sq.kms, including the four major forest formations; Lowland, dry semi-evergreen; wet evergreen; mid-elevation dry evergreen and montane wet evergreen. kunckles houses leopards, wild boar, deer, the rarely seen otter, the Horned Lizard, the rare Marbled Cliff Frog and over identified endemic species of birds.
