SLAYA Holidays’ Bird Watching Team delivers professional, high-quality birding experiences across Sri Lanka.
Our bird watching tour packages are among the most comprehensive and valuable in the country, designed specifically for both passionate birders and curious nature lovers.

Sri Lanka is one of the world’s premier birding destinations, offering an extraordinary variety of species. Visiting bird watchers can encounter a remarkable list of endemics, rare residents, regional specialties, Asian-restricted species, and migrants from North India and Central Asia. Many of these migratory birds are, interestingly, easier to observe in Sri Lanka than in India.

Our two-week bird watching itinerary typically covers around 250 species, making it one of the most productive and rewarding birding tours available.

Many of the island’s most iconic endemics—such as the striking Red-faced Malkoha and the elusive Green-billed Coucal—are confined to the wet zone. Others, like the Sri Lanka Whistling Thrush and the Yellow-eared Bulbul, inhabit the cool misty hills of the central highlands. Species such as the brilliantly coloured Sri Lanka Junglefowl and the shy Brown-capped Babbler can be seen across various forests and protected habitats throughout the island.

At SLAYA Holidays, our birding tours are meticulously designed to maximise sightings by covering diverse habitats, altitudinal zones, and lesser-known birding hotspots—while maintaining a comfortable and enjoyable tour pace.
Each tour is led by an experienced, English-speaking birding guide who lives and works in Sri Lanka year-round, ensuring expert knowledge and reliable field experience. You receive world-class guiding without celebrity-level prices.

We proudly offer a range of specialised bird watching tour packages tailored to different interests and durations. Contact us today to select the perfect birding experience for you.
