Kithulgala White Water Rafting
Grade 3–4 rapids on the Kelani River — the most thrilling adventure day in Sri Lanka
Über diese Tour
Kithulgala is Sri Lanka's white-water capital — a jungle river town where the Kelani River carves through forested gorges, creating a series of Grade 3–4 rapids that have attracted adventurers for decades. (It's also where David Lean filmed The Bridge on the River Kwai in 1957.) Half a day on the rapids, then cliff jumping, rock pools, and a jungle camp lunch. This is the purest adventure day out in Sri Lanka.
