Kitulgala Thrilling Expeditions

When you reach Kitulgala City you should begin your jungle trek in the Kitulgala Rainforest by boat journeying across the Kelani River. The hiking trails pass small watercourses alongside difficult boulders and undiscovered waterfalls which create an ideal opportunity for people who want to swim before returning to the starting point. Whitewater rafting provides adventurous opportunities to thrill-seekers. Rafters simply need to gear up with wet clothes while grabbing their paddles before starting their energetic Kelani River rafting session that covers five kilometres along a two-hour distance. After rafting activities, you should take advantage of the swimming opportunity before returning to dry land. Observe the Kitulgala filming site where they made ‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’ (1957). Today visitors can view the wooden bridge structure which director David Lean built for the railway explosion scene although the original bridge stands in Thailand. Take a captivating stroll to the location and immerse yourself in the world of movie history.
