🕘 Tour Highlights
🦩 Birdwatching in Kalametiya Lagoon
The sanctuary is home to over 150 species of birds, including migratory and endemic ones. Spot colorful species such as kingfishers, herons, cormorants, bee-eaters, pelicans, purple swamphens, and even the elegant black-winged stilt.
During the migratory season (November to April), the lagoon comes alive with flocks of visiting birds from as far as Siberia and India — a paradise for bird lovers and photographers.
🛶 Peaceful Boat Tour Experience
Glide silently through the calm waters in a traditional lagoon boat, guided by friendly local fishermen who know every corner of the sanctuary.
This gentle cruise offers close-up views of birds feeding, fishing, and nesting among mangroves and reeds — all while enjoying the soft sounds of nature and the cool lagoon breeze.
🌿 Mangrove & Lagoon Ecosystem
Beyond the birds, Kalametiya’s lagoon and mangrove forest are full of life. Watch local fishermen at work, spot water monitors, and admire the stunning reflections of trees and skies in the clear water — a perfect place for relaxation, peace, and photography.
