lowland and montane evergreen forest, Limestone forest, deciduous forest, grasslands and wetlands
hot, humid but usually dry (very little rain at this time of year) in the lowlands. Warm days and cool nights in the highlands. Some rain (dense fog, low cloud & drizzle) can be expected in the highlands.

fairly intense birding tour with long days (optional night birding on several occasions). Some moderately strenuous hikes (optional) but mostly easy walking along roads and tracks. Some long drives.
mostly comfortable hotels but a few basic establishments, however even these have the "creature comforts"l like air-conditioning & hot water showers
generally slow and challenging (quality over quantity)
delicious cuisine, scenic drives, an interesting history, some beautiful, intact forest still remaining in many areas
often challenging but mostly worthwhile
Overall a very good tour. Excellent group and of course, Glen Valentine was brillant and our in country local guide was both a valuable addition and an entertaining and delightful companion.
