is the home for a large number of bird species. Among
them are the bulbul, barbet, flycatcher, babbler,
woodpeckers and kingfishers. Flora Nearly 4,000 species
of plants constitute the rich and diverse flora of Sri
Lanka of which around 1,000 species are endemic. This
wide range of plant species is spread through the wet
and dry zones of the country. Sri Lanka’s endemic flora
is protected within a tropical rain forest reserve
called Sinharaja. There are three botanical gardens in
Sri Lanka at Peradeniya, Hakgala and Gampaha displaying
a large collection of tropical and sub tropical plant
species. Sri Lanka’s orchids are world renowned. About

Udawattekele is the only
forest in the world found bordering a city. With the
expansion of the city it has been reduced to the present
size.
The change taking place outside continues to effect the
serenity and charm of the forest while it continues to
remain as a forbidden forest
The forest remained
impenetrable for over many centuries where wild boar,
monkey, hare, squirrel scaly anteater, porcupine, and
reptiles, monitor lizard, tortoise and varieties of
birds, worms and insects live in perfect harmony with
nature.
The pond in the heart of the jungle was the place where
queens in the past bathed and used as their pleasure
garden. At times of war, kings always used the forest
for their defence against attacks and very often they
escaped through the heavy foliage to a safer place.
In the past elephants, elk, and leopard roamed freely
among tall giant trees and hanging creepers. The leaves
that fell from trees and creepers on the ground keep the
surface moist after intermittent showers.
