    Demo for those who want to see how the rainforest looks like. Mini Sinharaja. The main trail is about 800 m long one way. Entrance fee for foreigners is 900 rupees (and 300 rupees for the pool). Watch out for leeches if you're walking outside of the main trail.

    Nice place for an easy hike. A bit pricey (1512 rupees for international tourist). You can hire a guide for an upcharge.

    There is nothing to watch much in this place and just a walk through a path (may be 750 m to 1000 m) through jungle...Has to get a ticket before entering...
