Situated in the wet zone of our island, the Kitulgala Rainforest is a beautiful forest reserve adjoining Peak Wilderness Sanctuary in Adam’s Peak. An absolute birder’s paradise, this rain forest is home to birds such as the Sri Lanka junglefowl, Sri Lanka woodpigeon, white-faced starling, black-throated munia, dollarbird, blue magpie, chestnut-backed owlet, shy-headed laughing thrush, yellow-fronted barbet and the  Sri Lanka hanging parrot. To add to the appeal of the Kitulgala town, it is famously known for being a filming location for the epic “Bridge on the River Kwai”.
