Set beside the scenic Kelani River and surrounded by misty hills, tea plantations, waterfalls, and lush tropical rainforest, Kitulgala offers some of the island’s finest outdoor adventures in an unforgettable natural setting.
Adventure awaits around every corner. Paddle thrilling rapids during a white water rafting expedition, descend cascading waterfalls while abseiling, scramble through natural rock formations during canyoning, or improve your skills with beginner and advanced kayaking adventures.
