If you love adventure and want to experience a holiday that actively engages you with nature, then you must go Kithulgala.. Kithulgala is an adventure camp situated in Kitulgala, a small village west of Sri Lanka, just 80km from Colombo, on the banks of the beautiful Kelani River. It offers many nature activities which include White Water Rafting, Confidence Jumps, Waterfall Abseiling, Rain Forest Walks and Packaged Multiday Adventure Trips, being based at the Adventure Camp by the Kelani River, a waterfront that affords the opportunity for some real adventure and unforgettable experiences. The Kelani river is wide at Kitulgala, but it is shallow apart from a deep channel near the opposite bank, so in the drier months it provides a safe and attractive place to swim, wash and play.
Large numbers of people make the excursion weekends to enjoy the beautiful scenery, play in the river, Jungle Walks, Adventurous water fall jumps/ slides, White Water Rafting and have an excellent rice and curry lunch at the local restaurants.Many birders stay at Kitulgala. This area has most of the rainforest bird species that are found at the World Biosphere Reserve at Sinharaja, although in lower numbers. However, the secondary forest and cultivation at Kitulgala is more open than the pristine woodlands of Sinharaja, and elusive endemic species like Sri Lanka Spurfowl, Green-billed Coucal and Spot-winged Thrush may be easier to see. So Kitulgala is a primary spot for bird watching enthusiasts. Inside the jungles of Kitulgala there are plenty of camping opportunities which can be coupled with White Water Rafting, Bird Watching, Jungle Walks, River bathing and many adventure activities.
