The  Kelani River offers some of the best white water rafting in Sri Lanka. The crystal clear water of the river, which plunges through a rocky gorge just above  Kitulgala, is a perfect area for rafting professionals as well as beginners.

 The first challenge awaits in  Kitulgala:  hidden in the middle of the jungle lies the winding cave system of the  Belilena Cave, in which traces of human settlement around 30,000 years old have been found. The natural cave is not only interesting for amateur archaeologists, who can find remains of human skeletons and ancient dinosaur fossils here. In recent years, eyewitnesses have reported dwarf people who are said to have stayed in the cave. Objects were also found that indicate the existence of mysterious inhabitants …  

The demanding cave expedition leads on a narrow path through the impassable jungle. The entrance to the cave is behind the cascades of a waterfall. From here, you can see the unique view of the valley.  

In the evening you explore the jungle in the dark! The Makandawa Forest Reserve is located in the  Kitulgala area in the lowland rainforest and is one of the wettest areas in Sri Lanka. The night hike through the area leads through the dense forest to several waterfalls. Here you will discover rare birds, nocturnal amphibians, and reptiles under the expert guidance of a ranger.
