Sinharaja is a magnificent lowland rain forest, the last large patch left in Sri Lanka. Birding here is superb. All the species found at Kitulgala are here plus: Ceylon Junglefowl, Pompadour Pigeon, Green Imperial Pigeon, Red-faced Malkoha, Malabar Trogon, Ceylon Grey Hornbill, Spot-winged Thrush, Brown-capped, Tawny-bellied, and Dark-fronted Babblers, Ashy-headed Laughingthrush, White-throated Flowerpecker, Long-billed Sunbird and White-faced Starling. We'll also get second chances at Ceylon Spurfowl, Chestnut-backed Owlet, and Ceylon Magpie. Our hotel is basic and rather nice.
