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".
