Great spot for watching birds, but go early (6:00h) - Spent here 3 hours for birdwatching. Saw very beautifull Peacocks & a lot of different other birds. Nishanta got us to the right spots to see as many birds as possible and provided us with homemade sandwiches, homegrown bananas & water. He did not know all the birds by name, but knew where to find them! ;-)

If you like birds, this is the perfect tour. - If you love birds then this is the perfect tour to choose. (We unfortunately don't) the guide has many beautiful places to find them has apps on his phone to recognize them and he is passionate about this. I think because we didn't share the bird passion that there wasn't a click between us for this either. But this is not why 5 stars were not given because he really did it worthy of 5 stars. The reason is that he skipped the temples with us while they are mentioned that they would be visited
