Sinharaja’s Winged Shadows

From fruit bats carrying seeds across the canopy to horseshoe bats using precise echolocation to hunt insects in the dark, these remarkable mammals play an essential role in keeping the rainforest healthy. They pollinate, disperse seeds, control insect populations, and help renew the forest while most of the world sleeps.

At Rainforest Ecolodge, our twilight and night trails offer a rare chance to understand this hidden side of Sinharaja, where every wingbeat supports the life of the rainforest.
