Sinharaja Rainforest night border walks: spotting endemic frog calls and bio-luminescent fungi?

Night walks along the secondary buffer borders of Sinharaja (walking outside the core Strict Reserve boundary with accredited guides) provide unmatched amphibian observation. You can observe point-endemic shrub frogs (Pseudophilautus species) calling from understory leaves, alongside the endangered Wrinkled Frog (Nyctibatrachus) foraging in wet cascades. During wet spells, decaying bamboo logs and rotting Shorea logs foster bioluminescent fungi (Mycena chlorophos and Panellus species) that emit an eerie green light visible once torches are switched off.
