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:

Experience the authentic flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine with our recommended rice and curry for lunch, complemented by a must-try local delicacy of curd with honey.

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.

This activity is suitable for anyone over the age of 10, and a comprehensive safety briefing will be given by our instructors beforehand.

    "Cyril was our driver and guide for the last nine days. We had the comfortable white Toyota van shown in the pic - it was just as clean and shiny, and not a scratch on it. He is clearly a very skilled driver. He is particularly knowledgeable about the history of the many places we visited. We were pleased we had Cyril as our driver. He had been recommended to us by an acquaintance. Andrew Speirs Melbourne, Australia Travel period 04 Jan - 12 Jan 2018" Mr. Andrew an Mrs. Suzy Speirs from Australia
