About this experience

Suba a su vehículo con aire acondicionado en Mount Lavinia y viaje a Kitulgala, donde el río Kelani atraviesa uno de los hábitats de bosque tropical más gratificantes de Sri Lanka. Su guía naturalista experto lo conduce a lo largo de la orilla del río y hacia la densa maleza, señalando especies de aves endémicas y migratorias en el camino. Una canoa outrigger excavada lo lleva a través del río, y las tarifas de entrada están incluidas durante todo el día. Esté atento a otra vida silvestre que se refugia en el dosel del bosque arriba.

El sendero también pasa por el tramo del río Kelani donde David Lean filmó la ganadora del Óscar El puente sobre el río Kwai en 1957. Las cascadas blancas puntúan la ruta, ofreciendo un descanso fresco antes de regresar. Esta es una excursión privada de día completo, aproximadamente nueve horas y media en total, abierta a huéspedes de cinco años en adelante. Las propinas y bebidas no están incluidas, así que lleve agua y cambio.
