Details on Sinharaja trip
Good observation. Many of us go there and see only plants. But you have seen lots of animals.
ReplyDeleteGreat
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for 'people 'who see lots of animals'...
ReplyDelete> I'm a photographer/designer/biologist from Austria/Europe, coming to Sri Lanka mid Nov; I planning to do a 7-day-boattrip on ‚Mahaweli Ganga’ and I'm looking for help for the Preperation (permits/boat organisation)
if you're interested contact me on sascha.jakab@unart.com or sascha.jakab@yahoo.com
looking forward to seeing 'your nature'

If you like there is a field research station at Yagirala, managed by University of Sri Jayewardenepura

You can get a boat trip from Beruwala tourist resort to this place.
Dr. Amarasekera,
ReplyDeletethank you for your support!
I'll try through facebook to organize an individual trip - if that doesn't work I'll try the boat from Beruwala tourist resort!
do you know if I need a permit for the river? is camping an option alongside the river? is camping permitted in the nature reserves?
...if you'd want to send me your postal adress I'd like to send you a small book of my design work (inclunding many wildlife-pictures)
thanks again & all the best from central europe!

@sascha, Boat trips from Beruwala are arranged by Private operators and they are free.
ReplyDeleteCamping is allowed in some of the wild life reserves eg. Horton Plains.
I'll email you my University address and telephone number of an active member of YBA for you to contact.
hello Dr. Amarasekera,
ReplyDelete1. I haven't received your adress and the phone number yet - please mail to sascha.jakab@unart.com (www.unart.com is my company adress)
2. I'm afraid there might have been a littlemissunderstanding about the region im interested in > I want to go to the river 'Mahaweli Ganga' in the East somewhere between Polonnaruwa and Koddiyar Bay (Trincomalee)which is the Flood Plains Naional Park and Somawathie Sanctury;
I'm not sure yet whether to try get a driver for the two weeks I'm in Sri Lanka or if I should drive by myself - it would be most helpful if I could get a contact (email is best) from you - ideal somebody with a 4WD and a good knowledge of the National Parks in the east... - I would of course pay for the car, gas and accomodation!
where do I get a YBA - T-Shirt?
thanks a lot!
