Fantastic experience
We spent 1.5 days with Thilanka in the Sinharaja rainforest birdwatching – an absolutely fantastic experience! Already during the planning of the tour he was very attentive to our interests and needs. He also has an excellent network, which gave us the opportunity to observe a Jungle Owlet and a Serendib pygmy owl. Not only have we learned a lot about Sri Lanka’s wildlife, but Thilanka has also given us interesting insights into the country’s history and society. Last but not least, he even helped us get rid of the leeches 😉 His respectful attitude towards nature is exemplary. We felt completely comfortable all the time. Thilanka is a very communicative, open and exciting personality. Thanks for everything!

Bird watching in Colombo Wetlands- Guided Bird Walks
Great day of birding in Colombo environs
Tharanga and his partner were able to show me 37 species of birds in about four hours. They even sent me pics of some birds that I could not take. We then went over the checklist that they provided. Tharanga and his partner are very knowledgeable about birds, reptiles and butterflies. Super happy with the experience. Will return I hope for longer birding trip with them.
