Why You'll Love Deniyaya Deniyaya sits on Sinharaja's less-visited southern boundary, surrounded by its own tea estates and offering an alternative, quieter entrance into the rainforest reserve than the more commonly used Kudawa side, along with a cooler, green setting of its own.
The Pitadeniya entrance near Deniyaya sees far fewer visitors than the main Kudawa side, appealing to travellers wanting a less crowded rainforest trek.
Deniyaya's own tea-growing hills add scenic value beyond the rainforest itself, with a noticeably cooler climate than the coast.
Deniyaya's Pitadeniya entrance leads into the Sinharaja rainforest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with Embilipitiya and Udawalawe close by.
