Stretching for five miles between Haputale and Idalgashinna is a little known nature reserve ? the Tangamalai Wildlife Sanctuary. Not many large animals are to be seen, but birds of bright hues can be seen in profusion. From behind the railway station, a gravel track takes off, skirting the other side of the ridge, traversed by the railway line on its way to Ohiya. Five miles beyond, it joins the Boralanda-Ohiya-Kalupahana road, two or three hundred yards below the Ohiya Gap.Tangmalai is a tiny patch of montane forest that can be good for Pied Thrush (Zoothera wardii)), Sri Lanka Wood-pigeon (Columba torringtoniae), Green-billed Coucal (Centropus chlororhynchus) and Ashy-headed Laughingthrush (Garrulax cinereifrons)

The most picturesque in the world. Soft sound of waves lapping in to the beach, endless strip of white sandy beaches.
Sri Lanka's famous historical sites have become the staple of many a travel programme - Sigiriya.
The Sri Lankan highlands enhance the country's richly-varied landscape. Only a few hours from the coast, here is a land of rushing waterfalls.
