In Their Own Words

"This valley holds more biodiversity than many formal national parks. Our job is to help visitors notice what is right in front of them—the rare hornbill nesting, the medicinal bark, and the clean streams that sustain everything below."

Kasun holds national eco-tour guide accreditation and has cataloged over 80 avian species in Demada Oya. He leads ridge hikes and manages the riverbank eco-cabins.

Nalanda Reservoir Sunset Canoe & Waterbird Drift

Nalanda Reservoir Sunset Canoe & Waterbird Drift

Glide across the glassy mirror waters of Nalanda reservoir in traditional outrigger canoes (oruwa) as evening light paints the sky in shades of amber and rose. Drift quietly past emergent deadwood trees where hundreds of cormorants, egrets, and darters gather to roost for the night.
