We have put together several itineraries that take you across the island’s diverse landscapes and its natural wilderness in search of endemic as well as migrant bird species.  We also happily build a day’s birdwatching into general itineraries.

It is the range of attractions that makes Sri Lanka a serious bird watcher’s paradise and the beauty of the country and tropical climate also makes it a perfect place for a novice to begin. The best times to visit are from October to April, when the migrant birds have landed. The weather is best in February and March. Watch as the Storks, spoonbills, cormorants and kingfishers feed off the tanks in the dry regions and flamingos come in their hundreds to Bundala National Park.

Martin’s Lodge: Martin’s Lodge used to be the only accommodation close to the park entrance, a timeless small guesthouse cut off from the rest of the world. Martin, a charming and eccentric host, is so far behind the rest of the world that reservation requests are still collected during his weekly visit to the post office. The 10-roomed property is very basic. But the hospitality and stunning location both amply make up for the lack of luxury. Martin is also and expert on the forest and will talk freely about a place that he clearly loves deeply. The guesthouse is regularly visited by naturalists, ornithologists and university students who come there for research and exploration. (More)

Rainforest Edge: Rainforest Edge offers rustic style, high above the beautiful rolling hills of Waddagala and the Sinharaja forest reserve. The northern entrance to the Sinharaja rain forest is just 10 minutes drive away. This is an isolated, pollution-free environment without discomforts. From this appealing property - a triumph of designer-rustic, you can gaze upon rolling tea plantations, studded with occasional tea bungalows and factories, some now disused, some still in operation. Here you have the chance to enjoy the hospitality of Sinharaja villagers in a beautiful natural setting. Rainforest Edge follows strict environmentally friendly policies of using organic methods of farming, recycling of water and waste materials, and the use of solar energy. (More)

Boulder Gardens: Boulder Gardens is a remarkable eco-boutique hotel, located 30 minutes from the entrance to Sinharaja rainforest in south-west Sri Lanka. It took three years to build Boulder Garden from local stone preserving the surrounding natural environment and providing employment to the villagers. The end result is unexpected luxury and a deep commitment to its natural environment. Here, winding steps will take you around trees with long roots, rock pools where you least expect it and flowing water. You will feel that you are enclosed in the depths of an ancient rain forest, where monkeys and wild squirrels may make malarkey in the trees, an occasional jackal may prowl and eagles and hornbills are regularly seen.

Kulu offers a wonderful experience that allows you to really savour and enjoy the remarkable beauty of Sri Lanka’s wilderness. (More)
