One of the world’s twenty-one biodiversity hotspots

Marked as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2004, the forest covers an area of 5,306 hectares and boasts a diverse range of flora and fauna.

Some 220 faunal species have been recorded, including 86 species of mammals, 36 species of snakes, and several varieties of fish, butterflies, dragonflies, amphibians, and reptiles. Of the 33 endemic birds in Sri Lanka, 20 of them can be found here. Flora includes over 500 types of trees and a wide variety of medicinal herbs and rare plants.

Our recommended trek is approximately 2 hours and takes you past a Nevada tree to the beautiful Anagimale Waterfall. Your tracker, who is from a nearby village, will walk you through the forest, showing you unique plants and trees, and pointing out any animal sightings along the way.

The cherry on top – you’ll finish with a hearty Sri Lankan Rice and Curry lunch cooked by your tracker’s wife in their nearby home, served in the shallows of an idyllic lake.
