KITULGALA
Kitulgala is a small town in the west of Sri Lanka. It is in the wet zone rain forest, which gets two monsoons each year, and is one of the wettest places in the country. Nevertheless, it comes alive in the first three months of the year, especially in February, the driest month. The Academy Award-winning "The Bridge on the River Kwai" was filmed on the Kelani River near Kitulgala, although nothing remains now except the concrete foundations for the bridge (and, supposedly, the submerged train cars that plunged into the river in the climactic scene). Kitulgala is also a base for white-water rafting, which starts a few kilometers upstream.
Sri Lanka’s spring fed boulder rivers flow through wild tropical jungles are the ideal setting for white water rafting. Whether it’s a half day or full day excursion or as an activity of a multi day tour itinerary White Water Rafting is a must do activity for young and not so young alike.
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.
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 ˝ hours to 3 hours[ depends 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 !
