Located just 3 km from Mailagama Cinnamon Residence, Kataragama, Avian Arcadia is a private conservation sanctuary created through passion, dedication, and over 13 years of habitat restoration. What began as barren land has gradually transformed into a thriving natural refuge through the planting of native trees, habitat improvement, and careful stewardship. Today, it provides a safe haven for birds, butterflies, dragonflies, and other small wildlife, demonstrating how nature can return when given the opportunity.

Visitors are invited to join relaxed and informative birding walks with founder and custodian Ubaya Medawela, who shares his knowledge and experience in: • Bird identification and field observation • Bird calls and songs • Habitat conservation and restoration

Binoculars, bird reference guides, and the Merlin Bird ID app are available to enhance the experience.

Whether you are an experienced birder, wildlife photographer, student, researcher, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, Avian Arcadia offers an authentic experience where conservation, learning, and hospitality come together. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the remarkable birdlife and natural beauty of Avian Arcadia.
