Advanced Kayaking Adventure – 6 Hours in Kitulgala

Experience the thrill of Advanced Kayaking with CCT Sri Lanka in the beautiful Kitulgala region. This 6-hour adventure consists of two exciting sections of the Kelani River, each offering unique challenges and rewards.

Begin your journey with the upper river, a 7 km stretch filled with Class IV rapids. Here, you’ll face 6 intense rapids that will test your skills and push your limits. This section can take up to 4 hours.

Next, continue to the lower river, which features another 7 km of Class II and Class III rapids. It’s a more relaxed but still thrilling stretch, taking around 2 hours to complete.

Each rapid requires different technical skills. Therefore, participants must be confident in performing a roll and executing a wet exit before tackling the upper section.

After conquering the rapids, unwind by surfing a few waves and floating downstream. The gentle current will soothe you, allowing you to enjoy the stunning scenery of Kitulgala.

This Advanced Kayaking Adventure is the perfect challenge for those seeking excitement and adventure, guided by CCT Sri Lanka’s expert team.
