Thangamale Sanctuary is a paradise of bird watching, tucked away in Haputale's misty highlands. The pristine cloud forest protects a host of endemic and migrant birds like Sri Lanka blue magpies, green-billed coucals, and shy flycatchers. Walking along quiet, foggy trails, travelers can listen to the symphony of bird voices while seeing colorful birds darting in and out of dense foliage. The sanctuary's diverse habitat of ferns, flowering vegetation, and moss-covered trees offers a habitat to small mammals and butterflies as well, complementing the fauna experience.
