Home > Tour Detail
Highlands
Kitulgala is a small town in the west of Sri Lanka.
The Academy Award-winning The Bridge on the River Kwai was filmed on the Kelani River near Kitulgala,
although nothing remains now except the concrete foundations for the bridge.
Kitulgala is also a base for white-water rafting,
which starts a few kilometres upstream and also popular as a location for adventure based training programs.
- Tour Itinerary
A rain forestry area, which gets two monsoons each year, and is one of the wettest places in Sri Lanka. Nevertheless,
it comes alive in the first three months of the year, especially in February, the driest month.
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.
the Serendib scops owl was originally heard calling by Deepal Warakagoda in these forests.
The hills above the rubber plantations also have mountain hawk eagle, crested treeswift and Layard’s parakeet.
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.
