Highlights
We are engaged in white water rafting since in year 2000 and we offer professional guides with detailed attention to customer safety. High-level of environmental and responsible travel practices. The crystal-clear waters of this river that stumbles through a rocky gorge just above Kitulgala will make for an interesting challenge for rafting amateurs and professionals. The Kelani River offers up some of the most exciting white water rafting sections available in Sri Lanka.
Rafting through the boulders and rocks creates grade 2 to 3+ rapids. You are able to see the locations used for the Academy Award winning film – Bridge over the River Kwai, filmed in 1956 – which is also a great place to jump in for a refreshing swim. On a clear day, you could even dive in to see the remains of the actual bridge and carriages used for the film.

While water rafting in this section of the Kelani River is an exhilarating experience. Rocky sections, rapids, and rafting through the boulders and rocks, create grade 2 to 3+ rapids. As the river widens, you will go past the exact location used to film ‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’. This location is also ideal for a refreshing swim with its cool and inviting waters. A flatter section of the lower gorge is ideal for those who want to enjoy the river and its surrounding beauty - without having to navigate through the thrills and spills of large rapids. This option is perfect for children and family groups. The changing contours of the route along with the gushing crystal clear waters, certainly make white water rafting at Kitulgala a novel experience. The white water rafting adventure ends further down the river close to the Kitulgala town.
