TOUR ITINERARY

“An interesting affair between currents & rapids”…………
This thrilling adventure on the white water sections of Kelani River is suitable for amateurs as well as professionals alike. We start the white water rafting at 10 am. During the run you will experience the thrill of shooting rapids and euphoria of making it through. The river’s clear water is born in the heart of the peak wilderness reserve and tumbles through a rocky gorge just above Kithulgala.
As the river widens we pass the scenic location used for the film - “Bridge over the river Kwai” filmed in 1956-, which is also a good place to jump in for a refreshing swim. On a clear day, you may even dive to see the remains of the actual bridge and carriages used for the film (only for experienced divers with proper equipment.). Our journey, ends close to Kitulgala town where food and snacks are available.
For those who would like to enjoy the river and its wonderful scenery without the thrills and spills of large rapids, we raft through the flatter section of the lower gorge, suitable for children over six and family groups.
