1 A COMFORT OF NATURE IN ABUNDANCE FOR INNOVATIVE MINDS TO REJUVENATE

2 A QUICK GEOGRAPHY OF RAINFORESTS
Rainforests cover only a small part of the earth's surface – just about 6%, yet they are home to over half the species of plants and animals in the world. Tropical rainforests of our earth cover the Amazon Basin, much of Central America, the Congo and parts of Central Africa, north-eastern Madagascar, north-eastern Australia, and much of Southeast Asia. Sinharaja Forest Reserve in Sri Lanka; is a national park and a biodiversity hotspot in Sri Lanka. It is of international significance and has been designated a Biosphere Reserve in 1978 and World Heritage Site in 1988 by UNESCO. The reserve's name which translates as Lion Kingdom is only 21 km (13 mi) from east to west, and a maximum of 7 km (4.3 mi) from north to south, creating an area of 88.64km² but it is a treasure trove of endemic species, including trees, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. IN ASIA, RAINFORESTS ARE PLACES OF SOLEMN WONDER, COMPARED TO NATURAL CATHEDRALS BY DAZZLED TRAVEL WRITERS.

3 INNOVATION OF RAINFOREST ECO LODGE
The Rainforest Eco Lodge is an innovation that thrived out of the love and complete appreciation for nature by a couple of innovative thinkers. It is an eco-retreat set at 3,500 ft above sea level on the 500-acre Enselwatte tea plantation at Deniyaya on the southern border of the Sinharaja Rainforest in Sri Lanka. This is a tea estate that borders the southern edge of Sinharaja. Rainforest Eco Lodge is an effort at creating an idyllic holiday retreat that strives to conserve the environment and benefit the village community. Nestled in a canopy of trees above the Tea bushes The Rainforest Ecolodge is one of the most breathtaking vacation destinations on the planet. This spectacular place is blessed with the most beautiful scenery and pristine setting in the Sinharaja rainforest and is surrounded by a rich bio-diversity, majesty and wonderful fauna and flora of the Sinharaja. The hotel is located just 200km away from Colombo which is three and half hour drive from the city away from the hustle and bustle. It is the perfect getaway that has been designed specifically to provide an aura of peace and harmony with the forest. The trails offer a personal spiritual link with primitive nature.
