Kithulgala Rafting Day Tour
The town of Kitulgala is located a little less than a 100km from Colombo and is widely known for its White-Water rafting activities. The best time of the year to engage in rafting is during the first quarter of the year, when it is the driest and the waters shallow and safe for swimming.
The village provides over 6km of calm water and 7 rapids which takes about 90 minutes to complete. Other than attempting to brave the rapids of the Kelani river, tourists can trek the surrounding jungles which offers camping, nature activities and bird watching. For a more adrenaline pumping experience, you can also have a hand at mountain biking.
Upon arrival in Kithulgala, you will typically be greeted by experienced guides who will provide you with safety instructions and all the necessary equipment for the water rafting activity. You will then set off on an exciting and exhilarating adventure down the Kelani River, navigating rapids and enjoying the scenic beauty of the surrounding forests and hills.
In the late afternoon, you will typically begin the return journey to your starting point, bringing an end to a fun-filled and memorable day tour to Kithulgala.
