Kithulgala White Water Rafting Adventure Day Tour
Located just a three-hour drive from Colombo along the picturesque Nuwara Eliya road, Kitulgala is a verdant rainforest patch renowned for its natural beauty. The area attracts a large number of local and foreign tourists, drawn by its stunning scenery and diverse range of activities.
Kitulgala is perhaps best known as the filming location for the Academy Award-winning movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai." Although little remains of the iconic bridge, visitors can still see its concrete foundations along the Kelani River. Kitulgala is also a hub for white-water rafting in Sri Lanka, but there are many other leisure and adventure activities available to visitors.
At CYRIL TOURS, we recommend the following activities to make the most of your trip to Kitulgala:
We are pleased to offer a range of exciting outdoor activities for adventure enthusiasts and families alike. Our offerings include:
