Location
Martin's Lodge, a basic guesthouse, is situated 150km from Colombo, a journey that takes approximately three hours, on the edge of Sri Lanka's most famous rainforest Sinharaja, a UNESCO-protected World Heritage Site and an international Biosphere Reserve. The gates to the Sinharaja is located just 200 meteres away from Martin's Lodge which makes it ideal for environmentalists and birders who can explore this huge virgin forest reserve at leisure.
Introduction
Martin's Lodge used to be the only accommodation close to the park entrance, a timeless small guesthouse cut off from the rest of the world. Martin, a charming and eccentric host, is so far behind the rest of the world that reservation requests are still collected during his weekly visit to the post office. The ten- roomed property is very basic. But those not disturbed by rudimentary facilities will feel that the hospitality and stunning location both amply make up for the lack of luxury. Martin is also and expert on the forest and will talk freely about a place that he clearly loves deeply. The guesthouse is regularly visited by naturalists, ornithologists and university students who come there for research and exploration.

Accommodation
Martin's has ten basic rooms which consist of four triples, four doubles, one quadruple and a dormitory (which can sleep up to ten guests). None of the rooms have a/c. Rooms are furnished with single beds fitted with mosquito netting.
Facilities
The food served is all traditional Sri Lankan cuisine cooked. The open sided dining area overlooks the magnificent rain forest. The meals are charged separately and the price quoted will only be for the lodging.
Excursions
Moist and muggy, murky and mysterious - an experience of Sinharaja is like nothing else in Sri Lanka. Trekking through this relatrvely small, yet magnificent forest, the last surviving stretch of virgin rainforest on the island, be ready to pour with sweat as you make your way through a bewildering land of exotic colours and wonderful sounds. There are many species of birds that can be seen in the Sinharaja including Jungle fowl, Lesser Yellowknife, Yellow-fronted Barbet, Malabar Trogon, Red-faced Malkoha, Sri Lanka Hanging-parrot, Indian Swiftlet, and Pompadour. All the forest expeditions have to be accompanied by a hired forest guide.
