White water rafting
(1day including lunch for two people)
Kitulgala is a small town in the west of Sri Lanka. It is in the wet zone rain forest, which gets two monsoons each year, and is one of the wettest places in the country. Nevertheless, it comes alive in the first three months of the year, especially in February, the driest month. 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 (and, supposedly, the submerged train cars that plunged into the river in the climactic scene). Kitulgala is also a base for white-water rafting, which starts a few kilometres upstream.
$700
Hot air ballon ride
(including hotel and breakfast for two people)
A trip in a hot air balloon provides the ultimate views over Kandalama lake and the surrounding landscape.
We lift off from the hotel grounds as the sun rises and drift gently across the sandstone and jungle below. With no noisy engine to disturb the peace, you can enjoy the stunning vistas as the world below wakes to another day. Watch your pilot gradually lower the balloon to inches above the evergreen trees as you pick leaves or touch the tree tops, spot a bird or an animal waking to the daybreak. A Hot Air Balloon Flight is a participative activity and you can assist in the inflation and the deflation of the balloon if you wish.

Sinharaja rain forest visit
The last major undisturbed area of rainforest in Sri Lanka, this forest reserve occupies a broad ridge at the heart of the island’s wet zone. On most days the forest is shrouded by copious rainclouds that replenish its deep soils and balance water resources for much of southwestern Sri Lanka. Recognising its importance to the island’s ecosystem, Unesco declared the Sinharaja Forest Reserve a World Heritage Site in 1989.
The only way to get about the reserve is by foot, and excellent park guides, or freelance guides available through many hotels, can lead you along slippery trails pointing out the wealth of stunning plant, bird and animal-life.
