Great experience, very helpful and friendly guide
Overall the tour was unforgettable, from the time Mr. Sumith (the Guide) welcomed us at the airport all the way till he dropped us back to the airport after 7 days, very professional, friendly, helpful and flexible. While we didn't feel the same flexibility with the agency when we asked to change one of the hotels 6 nights prior to returning to the same hotel, they were very rigid and rejected our request. Fees were reasonable and competitive.
Operator response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re truly delighted to hear that your 7-day tour was unforgettable and that Mr. Sumith made your journey extra special with his professionalism and friendly support throughout your trip. He will be so happy to hear your kind words!
We’re sorry to know that you felt limited flexibility regarding the last-minute hotel change request. Due to hotel policies and availability closer to the travel dates, some modifications become challenging — but your feedback helps us improve, and we will definitely review our internal process to serve future guests even better.
Thank you once again for choosing us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Sri Lanka for another memorable holiday!

The tour has a few surprises as well
One of the best birding experiences I ever had in the Kalamatiya lagoon which was a truly unique and a wonderful place, the surrounding was calm and quite. The journey was well worth and I recommend it for any one who wants to get lost in nature and immerse in tranquility.
If you want to photograph birds, the place is ideal and Buddhi has well knowledged and equiped with bird guides as well as extra binoculars.
The tour has a few surprises.
