In 1994 there were some 17,000 visitors. In 2000, at least 12,099 school children, 9,327 domestic visitors, and 2,260 foreigners visited the site. In 2002 the 36,682 visitors included environmentalists, university students, school children and foreigners, a pressure which is beginning to degrade the environment. (Forest Dept, 2003). There are three entrances: Kudawa, Morningsite and Pitadeniya, from the northern, eastern and southern sides respectively. Kudawa is the main entrance point, with a conservation office, an information centre, a Research, Education and Extension Centre, accommodation for 102 people in six dormitories and lodges, and tour guides. The Mulawella, Waturawa, Nawada tree trail, Gallen Yaya and Sinhagala nature trails start at this entrance. The Morningsite entrance, in the quite different submontane forest, has accommodation for ten people. Pitadeniya, south of Sinharaja, is being developed under the Southwest Rainforest Conservation Project funded by the Global Environmental Facility Programme of the UNDP. This is building an Information Centre, a dormitory, a bridge over the Gin Ganga river and opening up four nature trails. Eight guides should be available to assist visitors.
