We are a traveling family. Truly, this is one of the most enchanted places we had the privilege to stay in. It is unique because you are in the middle of the jungle, without walls. The place is very relaxing, yet you feel the jungle, in the good way. The stuff is most delicate and gentle. The facility is luxurious. We had a great time. All the payments for your stay are dedicated to the preservation of the forest. Wonderful.

    A great place to do white water rafting, kayaking, abseiling...

    A great place to do white water rafting, kayaking, abseiling, tracking... There is a new hydroelectric plant being built. When that is built there will probably be no more rafting... get there before it’s over.

    When you say Kitulgala, first thing will come to your mind...

    When you say Kitulgala, first thing will come to your mind is white Water rafting and if you like adventurous holidays, this is the place to visit when you are in Sri Lanka. Except for white water rafting, the place is full of Rivers and waterfalls and you can have a very calm and enjoyable moment with the beauty of the nature. Must visit place if you are nature lover and love to have some adventurous holiday. For one of the best life time experience, try Gallene Galle for at least one night...

    A lovely area.

    A lovely area. Spoiled for choice of places to stay and for adventurous activities. Most places are fairly rustic in nature but comfortable. The drive from the Colombo airport to the area takes 2 1/2 to 3 hrs, a long time for a relatively short distance (roads very windy and lots of buses, lorries and tuk-tuks which slow the pace down).

    Kitulgala is very well known destination among foreigners...

    Kitulgala is very well known destination among foreigners and locals alike for its rapids, and white water rafting. The Kelani river flows through the area on shallow, rocky surface creating excellent venue for adventure sports. There are many service providers in the area operating white water rafting, canyoning, and many other water based adventure sports. Kitulgala is surrounded by virgin rain forests that adds to serene and relaxing environment untroubled by city traffic or pollutants. There are many places to look around, including nature walks in to forested villages, Belilena (ancient cave) and several water falls.

    The forest setting is absolutely amazing. The journey along the road itself is a once in a lifetime experience! It is pretty remote but if you are prepared it is well worth the effort. There are self catering facilities so we cooked for ourselves but the hotel will get food delivered in for you with a bit of notice if you prefer. The staff were very helpful - they helped us organise a fab rafting trip and a taxi to our next destination.

    Views were the best in the whole of Sri Lanka. We had our own private pool that had the sun rise directly in front and the sun set to the right of the pool. The room was massive and could have fit a few of us. It was so peaceful. Secure doors and windows, we had no bugs enter our room! Air con was a dream. The food here was absolutely outstanding as well. The staff can arrange for canyoning and water rafting from the hotel, do both!!!

    The staff were a natural extension of the lovely Sri Lankan people, lead by Dulana, who is an exceptional man. Polite, well articulated, and unfadingly helpful and accommodating. The property reflects this, and much more, smack in the middle of the jungle, with all the civility of a modern, clean, comfortable accommodation.

    Staff was super friendly and approachable. I also liked their food which felt a lot cleaner than other foods we had in Sri Lanka. Like less oily etc. also absolutely loved having the option to go into the fresh river pond where you can see clear water and tiny fish. It was really cool and refreshing.
