Sri Lanka — Things to Do

White Water Rafting

White Water Rafting

Sri Lanka's wild rivers are perfect for an afternoon of adrenaline rushes as you paddle your way through the rapids. White water rafting in Sri Lanka is an increasingly popular activity along the Kelani River, using the small town of Kitulgala, roughly 50 miles (80km) from Colombo, as a base. The Kelani is dam-controlled, which provides a range of rapids for both beginner and experienced rafters, with names like Killer Falls, Butter Crunch, and Virgin's Breast. The best time to go river rafting in Sri Lanka is May to December to avoid the monsoon season.
