Rainforest Retreat



A few pictures from  a recent visit to Sinharaja. An inland adventure in the middle of the dive season. We did find a few potential spots for some freshwater diving!

I love Sinharaja. both the forest and the surrounding villages. It epitomises everything of the Sri Lankan wet zone. Rugged terrain, dense forests, mountain springs with clear fresh water, quiet villages hidden among forest glades and patches of rice paddy gleaming in the sun; rich golden hues contrasting against the deep green of the forested mountains.
