What other adventure activities are available in Kitulgala besides rafting?
3 Answers from travellers
Kitulgala offers an incredible range of adventure activities beyond rafting. Canyoning through waterfall gorges with jumping, sliding, and abseiling is a major highlight and typically costs around five thousand rupees for a half day guided experience. Jungle trekking through the Makandawa rainforest reveals endemic birds, monkeys, and gorgeous hidden swimming holes.
Confident swimmers love the cliff jumping spots along the Kelani River with platforms ranging from three to fifteen meters high. Always verify water depth with a local guide before jumping. Zip lining across the river valley is another popular option offering spectacular aerial views of the surrounding rainforest canopy and river below.
For a unique experience visit the historic Bridge on the River Kwai filming location from the famous 1957 movie. The original bridge was rebuilt for tourists and you can walk across while learning about the films history from local guides. Combine this with a visit to the nearby Belilena cave which holds archaeological significance dating back over thirty thousand years.
