Situated around 80 kms from the commercial capital Colombo, Kithulgala is home to grade 2 and 3 rapids that provide plenty of thrills along the Kelani River. Set amidst stunning natural scenery, the course runs for around 6.5 kms and has rather unique sounding sections such as Butter Crunch, Rib Cage and the ominous sounding Head Chopper! Despite these names, white water rafting in Kithulgala is a fun and safe activity which includes the use of safety equipment and modern rafts. May to December is generally considered the best times for white water rafting here and offers a power-packed alternative to lazing by the sea!
