Kitulgala is a tiny Sri Lankan town in the country’s western area, nestled among wooded hills. Kitulgala is well renowned for being the most popular white water rafting destination in Sri Lanka, and a visit here is a fantastic blend of nature and adventure. It is also one of Sri Lanka’s wettest areas. The Kelani River, which runs through town, was used as a location for the Oscar-winning film ‘The Bridge on the River Kwai,’ which was released in 1957.
