Bird Watching

Thirty-three endemic bird species found nowhere else on earth, over 400 total recorded species, and habitats ranging from primary rainforest to coastal mangrove, highland plateau to ancient city reservoir – Sri Lanka punches far above its weight as a birdwatching destination. Sinharaja’s mixed-species flocks are the headline act, but Horton Plains, Wilpattu, Kumana, and the Knuckles Mountain Range all deliver exceptional endemic species for birders with specific targets.
