Description:

Tumbling out of the Sri Pada Mountains is the Kelani River—admire its rugged beauty on an action-packed whitewater rafting trip. With expert guides ensuring a safe ride, plunge through rapids and rocky gorges, watching for sites from the Academy Award-winning film The Bridge on the River Kwai.

Drive up and out of the city, climbing into the highlands toward the small town of Kitulgala, deep in the country's rain forest wet zone. With 2 monsoon seasons each year, there's water everywhere here, making it popular territory for adrenaline junkies seeking an exhilarating ride on the Kelani, Sri Lanka's 4th longest river. Climb aboard your raft for the day and negotiate the tumultuous rapids as your guide navigates you down the best channels and routes of the rampaging river. Don't worry if you're not a rafting pro—no previous experience on the river is required.

See the remnants of the bridge used in the climactic final scene of the Oscar-winning movie The Bridge on the River Kwai—supposedly, the train carriages that crash into the water in the film are still there beneath the surface. Revel in your day of thrilling, outdoor adventure before you return to your city or beach resort.
