À propos de cette excursion

Sinharaja is Sri Lanka's last viable area of lowland rainforest and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Home to 26 of Sri Lanka's 33 endemic bird species, rare reptiles found nowhere else on earth, and trees that have stood for centuries, it is one of the most biodiverse patches of forest in Asia. The guided walk is a revelation — mixed-species bird flocks move through the canopy in waves, endemic purple-faced leaf monkeys crash through the branches above, and the forest floor is a carpet of ferns and fungi.
