Sri Lanka’s spring-fed boulder rivers flowing through wild tropical jungles are the ideal setting for white water rafting.

Our main rafting location Kithulgala had a bout of fame when it was chosen as a prime location in the filming of, David Lean's 1957 award-winning film 'Bridge on the River Kwai. The Kelani River (one of the main rivers of Sri Lanka) flows through the Kitulgala's rock-strewn sections and the rapids provide ample pleasure for the adventure sport of white water rafting.

The actual run takes about 1 ½ hours to 3 hours [depending on how much time you want to spend in water] to complete with encounters of grade 2 and 3 rapids, bearing unique names such as Butter Crunch, Killer Falls, Head Chopper and Virgin's Breast !

This activity which doesn’t require swimming capabilities at all is ideal for the amateurs who wish to 'take the plunge' and for experts as well.
