62 km south of Ratnapura and 170 km southeast of Colombo. Its name is composed of the Sinhalese words sinha = lion and raja = king. The flora is particularly luxuriant in this place considered as the last viable area of primary rainforest of the island (and classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1988). Composed of more than 200 kinds of trees, some of which reach 50 m in height, Sinharaja Forest covers 11 187 ha. It is home to large populations of birds, deer, monkeys, rodents, amphibians and reptiles. However, there are very few (if any) leopards and elephants left.
