Sinharaja is a huge reserve with multiple trail options. We took one where a car picked us from Bentota and drove 2 hours to one of the reserve entrances. I did not catch the name of our trail, it was 10 KM long including the return, through the jungle and ended in a waterfall. It was splendid. We experienced multiple wildlife and fauna. The guide was a local and carrying lunch boxes for us. We were offered to dine beside the waterfall, but there were no infrastructure and chances of littering, so we skipped it. The trail towards the waterfall goes through a little rough terrain, be ware of that.
It was one of our best experiences in Sri Lanka. But if I had known there are multiple trail options, I would have planned better.
