Hi Jith

We had a great time in Sri Lanka. We will definitely come again.

Sandun and Silva were excellent. They looked after us all the way. Apart from making sure that we saw all the birds, 215 species, Sandun made us understand your country by showing us the ancient sites, explaining about Buddhism, getting us to try the local fruits. He really made our holiday.

The hotels and food were all very good. 

So thank you for arranging the itinerary, thanks to Silva for his excellent driving and a specially big thank you to Sandun for looking after us and introducing us to your country.

The only problem was, that at Sinharaja, we should have been staying at the Blue Magpie which was nearer to the forest and where we had arranged to meet friends, unfortunately we didn't realise until the last minute that we'd been moved to a different hotel, which was disappointing.

Fabulous adventure we had with you as our guide!!

Dear Jith,

Now, nearly two weeks after getting home, I am no longer jet lagged!!  But, it took until this week-end.

Now Patty and I are reminiscing about the fabulous adventure we had with you as our guide!! We had so much fun enjoying the birds, the culture, countryside, food, people and adventure. We learned a lot regarding how the different cultures/religions live and work together….We’ve had good laughs about leeches that we were so squeamish about!  I can’t believe how much trouble I caused in finding the Spur Fowl—but I’m glad we did it! However, none of this would have been so much fun without you as our guide and Manju as our driver. You two are a good pair to be with and Sri Lanka is beautiful!

Plantation Kitulgala -- Very nice, not much choice for vegetarian choice
Binota -- friendly, loud on one evening.
Hibiscus -- very nice, excellent birding, excellent food
Martin’s Lodge -- simple but an excellent location, friendly people and good food.
Our Guide -- Upali was most helpful and knowledgeable. He  was driving very safety and we found all  the birds;

All in all an excellent experience which I can recommend to any birder visiting Sri Lanka.

Hello Jith

I hope you are well?

Rachael and I wanted to send you an email to say Thank You for organising such a fantastic trip to Sri Lanka over Christmas. Upali was an excellent guide, his knowledge about the birds, plants, animals and other wildlife was great and made our experience even better. Despite not seeing all the endemic bird species, Upali tried his hardest to find them.

Seeing 3 leopards in Yala was the biggest highlight of the trip for me although the fruit bat roost was a very close second.

We ended up seeing 217 birds species including 31 of the 33 endemics with a top 3 of Indian pitta, pied thrush and Kashmir flycatcher.

Many thanks again for a wonderful trip

Best wishes

We had a wonderful trip organized by Jith. Our tour guide Upali is senior birds expert. He helped a lot during our trip. We had good experience in Sri Lanka, such as first time to walk in rain forest, wetland, Safari and whales watching. As it is our honeymoon trip, the hotels had provided the special setup for us.

However, some hotel may be too old such as the one near the airport in first night. May suggest to let visitor to choose the star level of hotels when planning the trip. Any way, we thanks very much to Jith and Upali to provide us a unforgettable honeymoon trip.
