Bird Watching

Patcharee and Kamol Komolphalin with Upali

​To Prasanjith,

It was a tense and exiting moment to see the leopard come out from the bush. He ignored those alarm calls of the deer and birds. And walked gracefully toward the pool and started to drink for 15 minutes.

Very impressive endemic birds. And the great efforts of the bird finders, and our knowledgeable guide, Upali. Well organized tour. It was one of our memorable birding trips.

Thank you very much

Feedback:

Goodwood Plaza Hotel - For a stop over stay, no issue.

Martin's Lodge - Truly back to nature for us, enjoyed our stay there. The foods to me was the best among the whole trip. Basic simple lodging, perfect for forest stay.

Lake Side Hotel - Room not bad, no complaints from us. Foods average.

Binota Residency - Excellent room and location but too much of traveling to reach. Foods not good for our taste. One of the taller/bigger size man working there serving us during eating was very good(professional), we been traveling around and I rate his services/attitude as very good. 
For traveling suggest you have alternate arrangement for tourists to arrive via Air Lanka at the lake and you pick them to start the tour from Nuwara Eliya? It will be a good experience.

Dear Jith,

TERIMA KASIH for an unforgettable excursion. We truly enjoyed every moment of walking with you. Our insights are:

Pinit Saengkaew, Upali, Hideo Tani and Jith

See Hideo Tani's photos on his website http://www.torihenro.com/C1311SL/index.html

A note from Prasanjith: I am highly impressed with Dr. Hideo Tani nearly 40 years work on bird photography and it is a great honor that you chose Walk With Jith for your bird photography tour in Sri Lanka. The staggering number of bird photos on your website is amazing! You have seen nearly half of the birds in the world and very importantly, photographed them all. And still counting. It would be a very very rare chance for me to meet another person who could beat your record.

Mr. Prasanjith Caldera,

Lindsay, Dave and Mandy
