Nestling in the tranquility of the famous Sinharaja rain forest, Sinharaja Forest Edge is situated in the rural Village of Deniyaya at the Mederipitiya entrance to the Sinharaja Rain Forest.
"Perfect location!!! Weare so near the rainforest the wildlife can be seen from the room and dining area and the ticket office/entrance to the park is 50m away. Free Tuktuk from Mederipitiya to the lodge (phone from Deniyaya since no mobile signal further on). Very nice food ,good choice of hot and cold drinks at good prices. The included breakfast is good and plenty of it. Nice sitting area for the evening lit by oil lamps and a fireplace."
Free mountan bikes are avalable.
Free transport provided to nearest bus stop.
