ONE DAY EXCURSION TO KITHULGALA

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.

We suggest staying for at least one or two nights in Kitulgala, but it can also be enjoyed as a day trip.

For a truly unforgettable experience, spend a night at an eco-lodge near the river bank and be enchanted by the roaring sounds of nature.

Our tour itinerary begins with a

Pick-up from your Colombo hotel, followed by a scenic three-hour drive to Kitulgala.

The tour includes a trek to the natural rock pools and waterfalls of Kataran-Oya, where you can experience sliding down a 5-meter waterfall, confidence jumping into a natural rock pool, and swimming in cool and clean rainforest waters.

You can also enjoy white water rafting on the picturesque Kelani River, covering 5 major rapids and 4 minor rapids, with modern rafts and safety gear provided.
