. A satisfying 215 bird species were cited. 13-day tour.

Choosing walk with Jith tour turned out to be a most rewarding birding adventure for us in Sri Lanka. From start to finish, our guide, Uddika, pulled out all the stops to introduce us to Sri Lankan culture while setting up a pace that our age and physical limitation could handle.

Because birds were our primary interest as well as photographing as many as possible, it was obvious that Uddika’s experience and expertise in spotting birds was exceptional. He went above and beyond meeting our interests and needs. He connects well with everyone we met along the way.

When drivers with jeeps were needed, the company provided good spotters as drivers as well. They brought additional birding eyes for optimal sightings. Special effort was made to get endemic and shy species like the whistling and scaly thrushes.

We highly recommend Walk With Jith for personalized tours of Sri Lanka. We found them through Responsible Travel website. The price was especially reasonable! Each of the places we stayed in during our 13 day tour was in a nice setting, served lovely meals and catered to every need. A satisfying 215 bird species were cited and many photographed. Great animal sightings as well!

Highlights would include:

A wild ride following a cooperative leopard.

Sleuthing out owls and night jars.

Getting up close and personal with two sloth bears, Serendib Scopes Owl and Ceylon Frogmouth.

We are pleased and grateful to have taken this trip.
