Kanneliya Rain Forest Trek with Wildlife Tracker

  • Get picked up by your chauffeur from your hotel in Negombo and travel directly to Kanneliya Rain Forest.

  • Hike in the Kanneliya Rain Forest, Sri Lanka's lesser-known forest reserve, with two of the island's main rivers running through it and a diverse range of wildlife living within its thick canopy. Neatly tucked away just 35 km from Galle, the forest reserve also houses around 78 villages. The wildlife tracker who will guide you in Kanneliya is from one of these forest reserve villages and has spent his entire life living within the reserve. The scenery in the area is straight out of the Jungle Book, and the opportunity to be out in nature makes this a fantastic experience for any nature lover. Your wildlife tracker will walk you through the forest, pointing out any animal sightings along the way. The forest boasts a diverse range of flora and fauna. You might see monkeys, snakes, chameleons, extensive birdlife, and a vast range of tropical trees, plants, and flowers.

  • End the trek and get dropped back at your hotel in Negombo.
