“An interesting affair between
currents & rapids”…………
This thrilling adventure on the white water
sections of Kelani River is suitable for amateurs as well
as professionals alike. We start the white water rafting at
10 am. During the run you will experience the thrill of shooting
rapids and euphoria of making it through. The river’s clear
water is born in the heart of the peak wilderness reserve
and tumbles through a rocky gorge just above Kithulgala.
As the river widens we pass the scenic location
used for the film - “Bridge over the river Kwai” filmed in
1956-, which is also a good place to jump in for a refreshing
swim. On a clear day, you may even dive to see the remains
of the actual bridge and carriages used for the film (only
for experienced divers with proper equipment.). Our journey,
ends close to Kitulgala town where food and snacks are available.
For those who would like to enjoy the river
and its wonderful scenery without the thrills and spills of
large rapids, we raft through the flatter section of the lower
gorge, suitable for children over six and family groups.
Rafting the white water section of the river
and the boulders and rocks create grade 3/4 rapids which are
exhilarating and scenic. Some times even 5……
A briefing is given prior to running the river
with instruction on paddling techniques and “man over board”
procedures. At the end of the trip and optional riverside
lunch buffet can be arranged for group and large parties.
