May 2020 · 3 min read · Sabaragamuwa Province

Hello Travelers,

Welcome back today's my travel blog. Yesterday I posted Mulawella forest when I traveled previously. Those Mulawella one of the path of Sinharaja forest. Sinaharaja forest is massive and ever green forest where you can seek various bio diversity. You can find some interesting places where you will want to visit with distance. Those boards very useful to find our selected areas and where the destination located.

There are four main ways in which the Sinharaja forest can be accessed. They are Kalawana - Veddagala Road, Hiniduma - Neluwa Road, Rakwana-Morning Side Road and Deniyaya - Pallegama Road. We used final one because we are living southern province of the Sri Lanka.

Sinharaja forest has various types and sizes trees and plants. I found biggest and highest tree after passed entrance. Actually no need to worry about sunlight while our walking inside forest. But there are some species of snakes. But we wear shoes so don't got upset about it.

Very first time I used photography editing software for my travel blogs. With some low quality of the images I decided to bring various image through editing them. While our walking I saw wild fruits on the tree from red color. I could see one bird drunk juice of this fruits. But before captured the bird flied over from there.

>*Part of Sri Lanka's Low-lying Rainforest Ecology Zone, this non-mountainous rainforest is protected from commercialization due to accessibility difficulties. This was named as a Biosphere Reserve in 1978 and a World Heritage Site in 1988.*

There was some kind of small mushrooms. But I didn't reach to captured them in every places because similar types of the mushrooms grown there.

This is a plant called Bandura. The green patch has a sticky liquid in it, which is an attractant to insects. Once the insect falls into the liquid, it cannot return. It is a carnivorous plant.

While our walking among the plants and trees we could met small branch of the waterfall. I heard there are some beauty of the waterfalls fallen to the down through the forest. So I thought it was one of the favorite waterfall's one of branch. The water so fresh and cool. We also drunk this water without doubt.

I don't know what's the name of these stronger vine. But Tarzan used like these vines for his better purposes. I believe it's much strongest than normal or nylon ropes. Green color always inspired me while my walking among the forest..

I could found another branch of the waterfall. It looks so refreshment with color combination. But not good depth on this place for bathe or swim. It is no wonder that the Sinharaja forest is a World Heritage Site. It is our duty and responsibility to protect the Sinharaja forest which has helped bring Sri Lanka's name to the world. This green jungle could be a better solution in the future for tomorrow's unexplored drugs.

Thanks for reading. Have a nice day all.
