Looking forward to spend a holiday in Sri Lanka? Holidays are much more fun when you visit the banks of the Kelani River. This activity is for anyone above the age of 10 years with safety gear, modern rafts, and a comprehensive safety briefing will be given by our white water rafting instructors beforehand. The distance covered is around 5 KM. The river and its surrounding will make you feel enchanted, with a memorable experience during your White Water Rafting Tour in Kitulagala.
A mere 2 hour drive from Colombo-Nuwara Eliya road, Kitulgala is a Rain Forest patch which attracts many resident and foreign tourists for its natural beauty. Engage in an adrenaline pumping journey along the Kelani River, which is part of the famous Bridge on the River Kwai fame. Paddle through the calm waters and the lush greenery of the Virgin’s Breast and move along to the Killer Fall with strong rapids and a 90 degree drop. The gushing water and the ambience is an experience you wouldn’t want to forget. The grade three rapids of the Kelani River are ideal for beginners as well as intermediate rafters alike. Every year many tourists visit Kitulgala with family & friends to spend a day white water rafting which could lasts from 1 ½ hours to 3 hours depending on the requirements of the visitor. Although Kitulgala is considered as the main spot to go rafting in Sri Lanka, travellers could also explore the Sitawaka River off Avissawella which requires skills of higher degree as the rapids in the river are of grade 3 and 4.
