Overview

Anawilundawa wetland sanctuary is located approximately 60 KM from Negombo, on the Colombo Puttalam highway.
It is a haven for bird watchers both resident and migratory.
Anawilundawa is also the nesting site for many exotic birds; including some of the rarer species of cormorants, egrets, storks and ibis, along with the pheasant tailed-jacana and the purple swamp hen.
If you are able to enter the sanctuary by 6.00 AM you will get to see over 150 species of birds leaving their nests for the day.
A unique excursion created especially for bird lovers. Probably the best day excursion to experience nature.
There are two Hindu Temple visits as a bonus on this tour!

Activity itinerary

Anawilundawa Wetland Sanctuary
  • 3h
The Anawilundawa Wetlands is a bird watcher's haven, with over 150 species of birds; both resident and migratory. Resident and endemic bird species can be seen throughout the year; whilst the period from October to April is the best time for getting a glimpse of the many rare migratory birds.
Munneshwaram Hindu temple
  • 30m
Munneswaram temple is an important regional Hindu temple complex in Sri Lanka. It has been in existence at least since 1000 CE although myths surrounding the temple associate it with the popular Indian epic Ramayana, and its legendary hero-king Rama. The temple is one of the ancient Pancha Ishwarams dedicated to Shiva in the region.
Murugan Temple
  • 30m
Madampe is a small town in Puttalam District. The Murugan temple, situated at the main road 9 km south of Chilaw and 10 km north of Marawila, is an extraordinarily neat Tamil temple, even more colourful than other Hindu Kovils in the modern Drawidian style. The temple is known as Punchi Kataragama temple, also called Replica of Kataragama temple, Kataragama being the Sri Lankan name of the Southindian deity Murugan. The large temple complex, opened in January 2012, was donated by a local businessman and land owner, who is involved in the production and delivery of toddy. Madampe belongs to Sri Lanka’s main region of coconut plantations.
