Kithulgala White Water Rafting Private Tour From Colombo

Discover the thrill of extreme adventure in the charming town of Kitulgala. Nestled in a wet zone rainforest and just a two-hour drive from Colombo, Kitulgala is not only breathtakingly beautiful but also one of the country's wettest areas. The Kelani River meanders through the town, and it experiences two monsoons each year, creating perfect conditions for white water rafting. The lush greenery and moist climate make Kitulgala a paradise for birdwatchers, providing an ideal habitat for a variety of bird species. Adding to its allure, Kitulgala boasts a fascinating slice of cinematic history—it was the filming location for the 1957 movie "Bridge on the River Kwai." Even today, you can see the remains of the bridge's concrete foundation, a poignant reminder of its storied past.
