NATURE WATCH

BIRDING

The entire Swapnagandha valley and its surrounding Mahdei region is a recognized Important Bird Area. With the nesting site of the Long Billed Vulture, and the documentation of over a dozen species of Western Ghats endemics including the Nilgiri Wood pigeon, the Malabar Grey hornbill and threatened species like the Sri lanka Frogmouth in the area, Swapnagandha is a birders paradise.

The mildly undulating terrain and the inter crossing forest paths provide remarkable opportunities for nature walks and trails and many of these have been identified as great birding areas too. Go on a nature walk with our guides and experience nature at its very best. Besides which the joy of a slow drive into the realm of thick forests is a breathtaking experience and can be had with prior request at our reception at Swapnagandha.
