Knuckles Mountain Range
A UNESCO World Heritage cloud forest range with rugged trails and exceptional endemic biodiversity.
Sri Lanka packs an extraordinary range of ecosystems into a small island, from rainforest and cloud forest to dry-zone savanna, wetlands, and open ocean. While Sinharaja Rainforest is our primary focus and where Achi guides most often, we also help travellers connect with the wildlife found across the rest of the island.
The destinations below each offer something distinct. Leopard and elephant in the dry lowlands, cloud forest endemics in the central highlands, migratory wetland birds along the coast, and pelagic giants offshore. Browse the destinations below to learn more about each one, or get in touch if you’d like help planning a wildlife itinerary that combines Sinharaja with any of these locations.
