About this tour

This private six-hour outing focuses on the birdlife around Sitakunda with local guide Eugene Prewitt. The day is built as a walking experience, using nearby roads, paths and mixed rural habitat rather than a rigid circuit. Eugene selects the most useful direction for weather, season and recent activity, while keeping the pace suitable for the group.

The area supports an unusually varied mix within a relatively compact outing. Kingfishers, herons, egrets and waterhens can occur alongside junglefowl, Kalij Pheasant, doves, pigeons, coucals and cuckoos. Wooded and open sections add possibilities ranging from bee-eaters, barbets and woodpeckers to raptors, drongos, orioles, laughingthrushes, starlings, flycatchers and sunbirds.

Eugene’s original species information included practical encounter estimates based on his local experience. They are best used as a guide to relative possibilities, not as fixed odds or a promise. The actual list will change with season, weather, time of day and natural bird movement. Kalij Pheasant and Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker are the two names Eugene subsequently confirmed.

The published price is USD 140 for the entire private group for six hours, not a per-person charge. Accommodation and meals may be arranged separately, with availability and cost depending on the number of guests and time of year. Transport, the final meeting point and any additional services are confirmed after inquiry; only services included in the final proposal should be expected.
