Loris watching

Step into the silent world of the night jungle and discover one of Sri Lanka's most mysterious animals – the shy and fascinating loris. 


  • Join a magical night walk through the jungle and discover the secret world of the shy, wide-eyed loris.
  • Guided by moonlight and soft sounds of nature, you might spot this rare nocturnal primate moving silently among the branches.
  • The Polonnaruwa forest is one of the best places in Sri Lanka to observe lorises in their natural habitat.
  • Watching a loris in the wild is a peaceful and unforgettable experience — a glimpse into the hidden life of the jungle.
  • Bring curiosity, patience, and a sense of wonder — the loris reveals itself only to those who truly listen to the night.

"Loris watching is not about chasing wildlife – it is about patience, silence and a rare moment of connection with the secret life of the forest."
