The Kottawa Forest Reserve was the British Empire during the Second World War. It was designated a national park in the 1930. Once part of the Sinharaja itself, the forest cover has been fragmented from time to time and is now only 37 acres.
Entering the Kottawa forest, you will come across a few small footpaths that stretch in different directions for a short distance. There is one way reserved for those who come to see the wonders of the jungle. Another path runs to a fertile tea plantation.
Along the way, you can view fresh tea leaves from the lowlands.
The other path here is to the natural water pool. Many local and foreign tourists come to the Kottawa jungle to bathe in this pool. The pool is always full of very cool and fresh water flowing through the forest.
Kottawa jungle is a bird paradise. Gray hawks, hawks, gray parrots, all four species of sparrows, Kalukondaya, batagoya, ulama, owl, haban rooster as well as Jungle fowl are no strangers to the Kottawa forest.
The Kottawa jungle is also home to a variety of fish in the small streams that flow from place to place.
Lowland Wet Zone Evergreen is maintained by various orchids, ferns and other weavers. The beauty of the evergreen Kottawa forest is priceless.
