Your Guide Didn’t Just Grow Up Near Sinharaja — He Grew Up With It

Meet Dhanushka: your host, guide, and the forest’s own storyteller.

Some people work in the rainforest.
Dhanushka lives it. Breathes it. Knows it like an old friend.
Not just because he’s a guide — but because he grew up right beside the Sinharaja Rainforest.

Not just near it.
With it.

🌳 A childhood rooted in the forest

While most kids were glued to cartoons, Dhanushka was out spotting birds.
Tracking frogs.
Climbing trees (and occasionally falling out of them).

His backyard? A UNESCO World Heritage rainforest.
His playground? Waterfalls, leeches, and lianas.

Today, he doesn’t just take guests on treks.
He welcomes them into a world he calls home.

🦜 It’s more than a walk — it’s a window into Sinharaja’s soul

Guests often say:
“I didn’t feel like I was on a tour. I felt like I was part of something real.”

That’s what Dhanushka brings to your stay.
He won’t just point at trees and say their names.
He’ll tell you which one the monkeys sleep in.
Which flower blooms after rain.
Where the rare lizard lives that his grandfather showed him as a child.

Every step with him is a story.
Every path holds a secret.

🛖 Hospitality with heart

Beyond the forest, Dhanushka is also your host at Rainforest Vibe Sinharaja.
His family cooks the food.
His warmth makes you feel instantly at home.

Whether he’s helping you spot an elusive bird, or sharing jackfruit curry at dinner —
you’ll feel it.
That this isn’t just his job.
It’s his calling.
