Our birding trip was a big success due to the expertise and leadership of our guide Thilina Karunanayaka. His combination of passion for passion for nature, enthusiasm, resourcefulness and jovial character ensured that we found all 34 endemic species of Sri Lanka, plus a few bonuses! Thilina carried out detailed reconnaissance on the most difficult species, especially owls, seeming to have local contacts assisting him in every place we went. Lastly, we encountered a couple of tricky situations during the trip which our guide took care of in an extremely professional manner. We highly recommend Thilina of Walk With Jith tours to anyone serious about observing birds and / or wildlife in Sri Lanka.

Good value for a memorable experience

Susantha is everything one could wish for in a guide, possessing birding and people kills in equal measure. He willingly shared his knowledge, his love of Sri Lanka and enthusiasm for birding while adapting the itinerary to meet our physical limitations and putting up with our grousing about the early morning starts. He really made an effort to make sure we saw what we came to see.

I would recommend walk with Jith to anyone looking for a birding trip to Sri Lanka. We were entirely satisfied with the transportation, hotels, meals – not to mention the wonderful sightings of birds and other wildlife. Good value for a memorable experience.

 

So happy with everything.
