One Day Tours: Departure from Colombo at 8:00AM

Experience the excitement of our Kitulgala White Water Rafting Day Tour, a mere 2-hour drive from Colombo along the Colombo-Nuwara Eliya Road. Kitulgala, an enchanting rainforest region, entices adventurers from near and far with its untamed beauty. Renowned as the filming location for the Academy Award-winning movie, The Bridge on the River Kwai, the Kelani River near Kitulgala holds a storied past. While the echoes of the film have faded, Kitulgala remains a hotspot for white-water rafting in Sri Lanka, boasting a plethora of leisure and thrill-seeking activities.

At Adithya Lanka Holidays, we recommend the following activities during your Kitulgala Day Tour:

White Water Rafting in the Kelani River
Rainforest walks to discover picturesque rivers and waterfalls
Mountain biking on roads or through the forest
Exploring the prehistoric Belilena caves, home to the 12,000-year-old skeletal remains of the ‘Balangoda man’
Waterfall jumps and waterfall abseiling
Bird watching
River expeditions

While a one or two-night stay is ideal, Kitulgala can be enjoyed in just one day. Nevertheless, spending the night in an eco-lodge near the riverbank offers an amazing experience amid the soothing sounds of nature.

Here’s a typical itinerary for your Kitulgala Day Tour:

Pick up from your Colombo hotel and transfer to Kitulgala – Approximately a 3-hour drive.
Trek to the natural rock pools and waterfalls of “Kataran-Oya” – 1.5 km, featuring seven stunning natural pools. Enjoy activities like sliding down a 5-meter waterfall and a confidence jump into a beautiful natural rock pool, followed by swimming in the cool and clean waters of the rainforest.

This activity is suitable for anyone above the age of 10 years, with safety gear provided, modern rafts, and a comprehensive safety briefing by our white water rafting instructors.
