33 km northwest of Hatton. On the way to Colombo, Kitulgala has become a popular stopover over the years for various reasons. Surrounded by a number of waterfalls (Hantung, Sampath and Manaketi Falls, for the most famous), it is now the most important starting point for excursions in the area. Rafting and canoeing have multiplied in this region whose tumultuous waters are the delight of water sports lovers. It is also a favorite place for birdwatchers, home to the latest species of bird recently discovered in Sri Lanka: the Serendipi Screech-Owl. You can also have a drink at the filming site of the world famous movie Bridge on the River Kwai, filmed here and not in Thailand. In the heart of a lush jungle, the place is quiet and the river beautiful. Unfortunately, only the cement foundations of the bridge remain (it is destroyed with dynamite at the end of the movie), but Kitulgala still seduces travelers
