Sri Lanka holds 33 endemic species. This expedition is built to find them — moving through every major bird habitat on the island, guided by people who know what’s calling before it appears.
This 10-day journey is designed specifically around Sri Lanka’s endemic birdlife, visiting four of the island’s most rewarding birding destinations: Kitulgala, Nilgala, Horton Plains, and Sinharaja. From the dry-zone forests and montane grasslands to the island’s ancient rainforests, each habitat offers opportunities to encounter a different range of endemic species. Carefully paced and guided by experienced local birders, the journey focuses on finding Sri Lanka’s most sought-after endemic birds while experiencing the landscapes they call home.

Ten days is enough to see Sri Lanka properly — if the itinerary is built around the right places at the right time. This expedition moves through four of the island's most rewarding ecosystems: the leopard and elephant country of Wilpattu, the mist-covered highland grasslands of Horton Plains, the dense leopard population of Kumana, and the endemic-rich understorey of Sinharaja rainforest. Focused, unhurried, and led by guides with deep field knowledge of each location.

The 10-day Wildlife & Culture tour takes the same conviction — that Sri Lanka's natural and human history are impossible to separate — and concentrates it into the island's most rewarding locations. Wilpattu for leopards and forest birds. The sacred hill capital of Kandy. The highland grasslands of Horton Plains, where endemic species found nowhere else share the landscape with sweeping colonial-era viewpoints. And Sinharaja, a UNESCO World Heritage rainforest that has been protected precisely because people understood its value long before the term biodiversity existed. Ten days. The full texture of the island.
