Discover KithulgalaWhere rainforest,
Where rainforest,
river and adventure meet.
One of Sri Lanka's greenest corners — a rainforest town shaped by the Kelani River.
The Destination
A green valley
in the wet zone.
Kithulgala sits along the Kelani River, framed by rainforest and misty hills. It is best known for white water rafting, but the area rewards slower exploring too — forest trails, hidden waterfalls, birdlife and small village roads winding through tea and rubber.
