Post sunset, the day continues with a short night birding session. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 3:
Start the morning with a visit to another forested area, rich in birdlife and early activity. After returning by mid-morning, enjoy lunch and a short break before heading out again. The afternoon is spent around wetlands, followed by an evening beach sunset and a brief night walk before wrapping up the day at the hotel.

Day 4 :
Today’s morning walk takes you to a highland forest zone with refreshing air and varied terrain. Post-lunch, the focus returns to coastal wetlands where light and mood shift beautifully through the afternoon. After sunset, a final night walk offers one more glimpse into the nocturnal world.
