Sinharaja is a true rainforest, so expect rain at any time of year. Even so, the seasons shape the birding.
December to April
Generally the driest and most popular period, with active flocks and migrants from the north present.
May to September
The south-west monsoon brings heavier rain. Birding continues between showers, and the forest is at its lushest and quietest.
October and November
Inter-monsoon months with afternoon storms and the arrival of migrants.
Whatever the month, early mornings are the most productive. Tell us your dates and we will advise on what to expect.
