Birds & Wildlife of Sri Lanka

Jith – Thank you so much for organizing and leading a superb trip to your wonderfully interesting and beautiful island.
Thank you also for ensuring that all 12 of us enjoyed our varied interests in the wildlife; cultural sites and of course, the amazing birds.
Each of us have many memories which will last a lifetime and your commentary on the culture, history and peoples of Sri Lanka was delightful.
From the mountains of Nuwara Eliya to the rainforest at Kitulgala; from the leopards of Yala to the bird wave of Sinharaja.
Thank you,

Great trip with Jith. He is well informed about many subjects; is cheerful and speaks good English. We travelled around Sri Lanka in a comfortable bus with an excellent driver and backup team.
Many Thanks,
Mark Bell

My first trip to Asia and Sri Lanka certainly is the pearl. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and your knowledge, help, humour and bird expertise. I really appreciated the blend of culture and birding. At times I felt quite humble when seeing the poverty of some locals eg tea puckers. Whilst we enjoyed luxury. Thanks also to Indika – who answered my endless questions about flora, local customs etc. etc. – his beaming smile will be added to my memmes.

Jith, This trip has been the most amazing adventure. You somehow managed to show us all the wonderful culture as well as con*****ing up a bewildering array of birds, whilst coping with our many problems and keeping smiling. Your knowledge of the country & customs, together with the added help from Indicat made it an unforgettable experience.

Jith, A really worthwhile trip. I enjoyed the temples, Sigiriya Rock walk and all the cultural highlights. In addition the bird life and wild life we experienced. 
Thank you Jith

We saw so much in the 2 weeks. A very interesting & beautiful country.
Thank you Jith for such a marvelous tour.

Thanks Jith for going the extra mile for me to get 31 of the 33 endemic birds. Of Sri Lanka. It must have come as a shock for you that there was a serious lister on a birding and culture tour, but with a lot of extra effort, early morning starts and excellent help from yourself, Ranjit & Indika we got there in the end.
I had heard before I came to Sri Lanka about its beauty and friendly people and was not disappointed.
It was obvious from the start that your staff realized that we paid their wages, your team of Indika, Mr Bean and goffer were very very good. My enduring memories of birding in Sri Lanka, Serendib Scopes Owl, 3 endemic lifers in half an hour on the last morning at Martin’s Lodge and lastly but not least Indika’s wonderful smile will be long lasting in my memory.
Recommendation by word of mouth is the best sort of advertising. I will not hesitate to give it. Many Many thanks,
