Tour Overview

Locations Covered: Anuradhapura - Wilpattu - Habarana - Sigiriya - Anawilundawa - Negombo

* Sri Lanka is a spectacular destination for bird-watching, offering a remarkable variety of habitats ranging from wetlands and forests to dry-zone landscapes and ancient cultural sites. This bird-watching journey covers Anuradhapura, Wilpattu National Park, Habarana, Sigiriya, and Anawilundawa Bird Sanctuary, each providing unique opportunities to observe Sri Lanka’s rich avian life. Visitors may encounter colourful kingfishers, bee-eaters, hornbills, parrots, herons, egrets, storks, eagles, owls, woodpeckers, and numerous endemic species. Wetlands and reservoirs attract large numbers of migratory birds, particularly during the northern winter. Combined with wildlife, ancient ruins, village scenery, forests, and tranquil waterways, bird-watching offers an unforgettable way to experience Sri Lanka’s natural beauty.
