Sri Lanka packs 35 endemic bird species into a territory the size of Ireland, making it one of the world’s most rewarding birdwatching destinations per square kilometre. Our birding experiences are guided by specialist naturalists who know individual territories and the specific habitats where endemic encounters are most reliable, from Sinharaja’s famous mixed-species feeding flocks to the highland grassland birds of Horton Plains and the wetland waders of Muthurajawela. These experiences work equally well for serious listers and curious first-time birders.
