The Birdlife of Sri Lanka
A remarkable journey through the eclectic terrain and natural habitats of Sri Lanka in search of some of the 500 endemic and migratory bird species that have been recorded here.
Take a trip outside the bustling centre of Colombo to the urban wetland area of Diyasaru Park. The 60-acre park was formally a wasteland before being transformed into a biodiversity study park in 2010, with artificial ponds and canals created to attract local wildlife. Now, the area is home to a myriad of butterflies, fish and reptiles and an excellent spot to see various migratory birds, depending on the time of year.
A trip to Diyasaru Park with a local naturalist is a great way to get out of the city and into nature with the promise of seeing a rich range of wildlife. If the park isn’t enough to satisfy your wildlife itch, an additional visit to the nearby Thalangama Wetland can be arranged at no extra cost.
You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
