Kitulgala Whitewater Rafting Day Tour

Departing from Colombo or as per your request

Kitulgala day tour is a mere 2-hour drive from Colombo-Nuwara Eliya road. Kitulgala is a Rain Forest patch that attracts many residents and foreign travelers for its natural beauty. The Academy Award-winning Movie the Bridge on the River Kwai was filmed on the Kelani River near Kitulgala, although nothing remains now except the concrete foundations for the bridge. Kitulgala is the base for white-water rafting in Sri Lanka, but there are a myriad of leisure and adventure activities that can be done in Kutulgala.

We suggest the following things to do during the Kitulgala Day Tour:

Whitewater rafting in the Kelani River
Rain forest walks to see beautiful rivers and waterfalls
Mountain biking on the roads or in the forest
Visiting prehistoric Belilena caves in which the 12,000-year-old skeletal remains of the prehistoric ‘Balangoda man’ (Homesepiens Balangodensis) have been found
Waterfall Jumps and Waterfall Abseiling
Bird Watching
River expeditions

While a one- or two-night stay is recommended, Kitulgala can be enjoyed in one day as well. But staying the night will be a nice experience. A night out in near the river bank Hotel in Kitulgala is an amazing experience amidst the roaring.
