This high adrenaline adventure on the white water section of the Kelani river is suitable for the first time ‘go for it’ rafters and experts alike. During the run you will experience the thrill of shooting rapids and the euphoria of making it through. The rivers clear water is born in the heart of the peak wilderness reserve and tumbles through a rocky gorge just above Kitulgala (about 2 hrs drive from Colombo).

As the river widens we pass the scenic location used for the film ‘Bridge over the River Kwai’ which is also a good place to jump in for a refreshing swim. 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!  Lunch at a restaurant in Kitulgala.
