Hetti is a good guide & tried to ensure that the clients wishes are met and that the client has an enjoyable tour. He has a good knowledge of all the bird calls and is good at locating the source of the call – i.e. the bird call.
Apart from the Rest House at Kitulgala & the Kinjou Safari Village at Udawalawa the hotels were of a good standard.
Both the Rest House & Kinjou Safari Village badly need refurbishing. However the most disappointing thing was that rooms were not that clean!!
First of all, many thanks for WalkWithJith & Hetti! We have a wonderful Sri Lanka birding trip! We got 142 birds and 26 of them are endemic. Hetti is a good guide! He always tries his best to find birds for us and also take good care of us! We love birding in Sri Lanka! Thank you very much!

At Sinharaja
The Guangzhou and Shenzhen parent-child birding group has the largest number of people among the tours I organized abroad. It’s also the fourth time that I collaborate with Jith. Jith’s team is as professional and meticulous as usual. The team proves to be very professional in many aspect including hotel accommodation, vehicle arrangement, bird guide, etc.
Spot-bellied Eagle-Owl and Eurasian Scops Owl are the species that the team members have never seen before. All teammates are very satisfied!
We had a very enjoyable time travelling around Sri Lanka with Manju. Manju was able to tell us lots of interesting facts and found local guides for us at major sites. He looked after us very well the whole time.
Our accommodation was very good and the food was wonderful, portions huge. We were lucky enough to see many elephants of all sizes, visit interesting ruins and majestic temples. One of the best things about Sri Lanka is the friendliness and welcoming attitude of the people. I would highly recommend this company as everything was organized perfectly.
Firstly, we had an amazing experience in Sri Lanka (it's an amazing country!) We have visited so many interesting and cultural places with our wonderful tour guide Upali.
Walk With Jith could not have arranged a more balanced and enjoyable tour, takin in evey thing from wildlife to places of worship and cultural fascinations. Upali has been an inspiring and knowledgeable guide with great stories and facts to make every aspect of Sri Lanka come alive!
All hotels were welcoming, comfortable and clean. All food on offer has been delightful and aromatic. It has been lovely to taste the different cultural foods of Sri Lanka.

4th visit to Sri Lanka! I am amazed, jith, that you still are welcoming and as usual, made out stay in your home and as we travelled around simply great! I still have not learned any Sinhalese, and am probably now holding a record for you seeing temples both old and new. Thanks again for your friendship and your attention to detail. I look forward to showing you Ireland! – soon!!

We couldn't thank you enough for the wonderful trip you organized in your beautiful country. Everything was absolutely great about the organization, vehicle, hotel choices, food and guide. Above expectations!
You answered my e-mails straight away with clean and complete information. You also were very good at making some changes to tailor made our tour, so it fitted exactly within our time availability and interests.
Thanks so much for making our trip and our first experience with Sri Lanka memorable and enjoyable. We love nature here and all wonderful creatures you've shown us. Truly amazing with all endemic species. We hope Sri Lanka continues to value and conserve it's nature. We really enjoy Horton Plains, Yala and Uda Walawe. We'll have to come back for Bundala. The owl and the frogmouth were highlight of Sinharaja. Galle old city was also very lovely. Wish we had more time there.
Thanks again for all your help. Sri Lanka food is great! We'll be back :)
