This birdwatching tour - one of two itineraries that we offer for your consideration - is perhaps is more suited to the committed twitcher. It tends to use simpler accommodation than the Tailor-made Birding Holiday - although you can make any changes that you wish. It takes you through some of the island’s most fascinating locations including coastal wetlands, rainforests and the soaring peaks of the hill country in search of exotic species of birds. Sri Lanka is a birdwatchers’ delight and attracts more than 400 species, nearly half of them migrants and more than 20 endemic to the island.  This Red Dot bird watching holiday comes with a specialist guide and can be designed to satisfy everyone from the committed twitcher to the amateur enthusiast. The best time for birding in Sri Lanka is between November and March when the migrant birds have landed, but there is plenty to satisfy you all year round. Whether bird watching is your passion, or you merely fancy a dabble, pick up a pair of binoculars, a guidebook and a notepad and join us in this birdwatcher’s paradise.
