About this experience

Partite da Kalpitiya per una passeggiata privata di cinque ore alla ricerca di uccelli attraverso il Santuario di Anawilundawa — uno dei soli sei Zones Umide RAMSAR dello Sri Lanka. Posizionato tra la costa e la linea ferroviaria Chilaw–Puttalam nella provincia nord-occidentale, il santuario si trova nel punto d'incontro di tre ecosistemi distinti: costa aperta, foresta di mangrovie e vasche d'acqua dolce. Questa rara combinazione attira centinaia di specie di uccelli che nidificano e si riproducono tutto l'anno, rendendolo uno dei luoghi più gratificanti dell'isola per gli ornitologi di qualsiasi livello.

La vostra guida esperta conduce la passeggiata, indicandovi le specie e condividendo approfondimenti sull'habitat delle zone umide mentre esplorate. Il trasferimento da e verso Kalpitiya avviene in veicolo climatizzato e i biglietti d'ingresso sono inclusi nel prezzo. I bambini dai cinque anni in su sono i benvenuti. Le mance e il cibo e le bevande non sono inclusi, quindi portate con voi un pranzo al sacco e molta acqua per il sentiero.
