If you like adventure and nature, you must go rafting in Kitulgala.

The area is of extraordinary tropical vegetation. Just to see this famous river and the lush vegetation that surrounds it, it is already worth visiting.

Despite what it may seem, this part of the country is by no means touristy.

The vast majority of people who come to rafting in Kitulgala are locals, especially the Sinhalese from Colombo or Kandy.

Take an excursion

To get into the trails in this area you need to consider a couple of things.

One is that the density of vegetation is such that it is quite difficult to climb mountains.

And the second is that leeches live in this area.

So you have to go with the material to wipe out these pests like sea salt or Dettol, a very powerful disinfectant.

Despite this and the tropical heat of the place, we will meet many people interested in walking through the rugged mountains with hidden waterfalls included.

River Excursion

Visit the area where the movie “The bridge over the River Kwai” was shot

David Lean shot this famous film in 1957 in this area.

Some filming locations are still recognizable.
