Sinharaja Forest Reserve is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the last remaining primary rainforests in Sri Lanka. Here’s what visitors can expect during morning or afternoon tracking, with a particular focus on the opportunity to view large numbers of endemic birds:

As the day progresses, the forest takes on a different charm in the afternoon. The play of sunlight through the dense foliage creates a magical atmosphere. Afternoons are often when mixed-species flocks of birds move through the forest. This can be a spectacular sight as various species forage together, providing opportunities to observe both common and rare birds. Some bird species that are not as active in the morning may become more visible in the late afternoon. The Sri Lanka Spurfowl, Sri Lanka Junglefowl, and the Sri Lanka Scaly Thrush are examples of species that may be encountered. The softer afternoon light can enhance the photography experience, allowing visitors to capture the vibrant colors of the birds and the lush greenery of the forest.
