We came to Sri Lanka for the 03rd time with the aim of bird watching. We used Walk With Jith as he is very reliable and trusted tour operator. The driver has always been experienced and quick to spot and identify all species of birds and mammals.   

Sure we will use this service in near future. Their understanding of our needs and requirements are best which makes the vacation seamless and a pleasant. 

Thank you again and we will be back.

God Bless Chamil as he really made our time a great experience!

Not suitable to bird in December. Rain most of the time. Thili is very hardworking and knowledgeable in bird and bird calls. Highly recommended to come birding again.

Thank you

Overall a very well planned tour: Upali was knowledgeable and patient as out guide. Although there was a lot of time on the road (often wind and bumpy). He drove carefully and there was time to stop when we needed or something of interest.

Kitulgala was a good place to start and although it rained some of the time, we were able to see a lot of birds. Kaudulla park was excellent both for the elephants and Roller birds and Bee-eaters.   

We enjoyed the cultural triangle, particularly Polonnaruwa (close up views of birds as well as the ruins) and Dambulla cave temple. Kandy was also enjoyable although the train ride was less scenic than expected. Horton plains was one of the highlights.

Tissamaharama and the nearby wetlands were also amazing, although there wasn’t a lot to see at Bundala park (no migrants).

Walk With Jith is an excellent company to go birding with. Everything was well planned to optimize birding in different habitats.

The guide (bird) Athula is a very knowledgeable bird guide. He is very dedicated and very passionate in his work and looking for endemic species. He goes all out to look for endemic birds and has sharp eyes. He is a very good spotter… can find birds even while driving.

I would highly recommend Athula and Walk With Jith for birding in Sri Lanka.

Through Walk With Jtih arrangement. We had a wonderful birding trip experience in Sri Lanka starting from Feb 23rd to March 04th 2019.

During this journey, we watched 203 species of birds which includes all the 33 endemics. Thanks to Athula, our bird guide, he is a birding expert, without his help we couldn’t achieve our target.

Thank you so much Athula for an absolutely amazing six days of birding. Not only is Athula professional in his guide services, he ensured that everything was well taken care of including the accommodations and food. Athula is an expert bird guide and he knows each bird species and calls which he can easily identify. Throughout the six days he has put in a lot of hard work and dedication to ensure that we were able to see all the endemics.

Birding only in Sinharaja and Nuwara Eliya we were able to see all endemics except the Wood Pigeon.  Highlight of the trip included photography the endemic Serendib Scopes Owl, Sri Lanka Frogmouth, Scaly Thrush and the all-time elusive and incredible rare Ceylon Bay Owl. It is only with Athula’s expert service that we were able to achieve this and we would highly recommend Athula to any prospective bird watches or photographers.

Overall this is a lovely trip with walk with Jith, very clear briefing upon arrival with detailed booklet, the success of this trip cannot be without our guide Mr. Senerath, who is very knowledgeable about Sri Lanka birds in all the areas that we visited, he has impressive eyesight.

All accommodations are comfortable, excellent Sri Lankan food and fresh fruit juice during our visit in 11 days.

For natural birds, wildlife lovers, advanced ones or beginners this program will be excellent to enjoy, learn and fully inspired. Again, thanks to the arrangement by Walk With Jith, and special thanks to the guide. Mr. Senerath.

Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Graham

Our trip to Sri Lanka with Walk With Jith was from 27 Apr to 1 May 18. We are extremely delighted with all the arrangements, which started with the reception at the airport, where we received 01 package which included a guidebook on birds of Sri Lanka and a road map (such attention to details and thoughtfulness !)

We are especially happy with our chauffeur guide, Thilina! He is professional, friendly and always do his best to find the birds!

We strongly recommend Walk With Jith for those planning a trip to Sri Lanka and in fact, we are already planning for another visit!

Thiely enjoyable as a photographic trip.

We were not after species count, so we took all the photo opportunities that were offered.

Our guide/driver was very knowledgeable and took the trouble to show us all as best as he could. The arrangement of our trip went without any hiccups.

We will recommend Walk With Jith and will come again in future.
