  • 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.

    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.
