After a hike through the rainforest with Sunil we were welcomed into his house by the family and Sunil’s wife presented us with a fabulous meal . Similarly , the following morning , after a very early start we hiked in the forest and saw most of the birds we had wanted to see . Sunil is an excellent guide - enthusiastic and very knowledgeable . We were then treated to a great breakfast at Sunil’s house .

Situated in Deniyaya, Sinharaja Rest offers accommodation with seating area. With mountain views, this accommodation provides a balcony.

We enjoyed our stay at Sinharaja Rest very much. Maps may not for some reasons show the exact directions as there is a newer road uphill that one should take to reach the place. Relying on map directions we ended knocking on the neighbours' door but they kindly showed us the right direction : ) The place is an excellent starting point for a rainforest tour. The host organized a six hour rainforest tour for us and also took us to the bus station when we left, so we were very well looked after. The rainforest tour was awesome! We saw lots of birds, some monkeys and some snakes and our guide was very knowledgeable. Special care should be taken to keep leeches off as they are hungry and crawl faster than you might imagine. We were provided leech socks by the host that kept most of them away, but I still donated some blood to a couple of leeches. It may be a good idea to take some adhesive bandages with you to stop the bleeding. Sinharaja Rest is located at the edge of the village, so one can sit on the terrace and absorb the village sounds and listen to birds singing. They served breakfast and dinner, as well as tea and beverages. I have uploaded a 6 minute clip mostly filmed on the terrace one morning: https://vimeo.com/1070835704

Located in Deniyaya, Forest & Fields Sinharaja provides accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking.

Sitting on a beautiful hill do you see what I see? Or may be I'm dreaming? Because the picture not seems to be reality. Dozens of peacocks are walking. The night fog descends, revealing an incredible view of the mountains surrounded by jungle forest. And so on, so on. The house under the high trees is surrounded by the garden full of exotic plants and flowers. There is a great desire to sit all day at the cottage on a comforrable chair without moving, watching the amazing nature around. The host and his parents are very nice people. He is young and handsome,though his English is very good. He was our guide to the forest, where we spend the whole day watching various animals, insects and birds, listening to stories about them, as well as other details of the life of the relict forest Sinharaja. We have been swimming in several waterfalls. We got soaked in the rain. But we returned home happy and tired, where a delicious Sri Lankan dinner was waiting for us.

Incredible location, free pick up from the bus. You could sit and look at the views and wildlife all day. Amazing tour! literally couldn’t have wished for a better guide; Sagara was so knowledgeable and gentle and passionate about the forest. The food, the staff and the rooms were just lovely.

Particularly liked Bandula, his wife and son. They were great hosts, attentive, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and extremely personable. Food was great, extremely good value and very tasty. Jungle tour was great ... you soon get used to the leeches (didn't expect to say that!)
