The stretch of Kelani River 5km upstream from the village of Kitulgala provides seven grade two and three rapids for white water rafting. The upper section is suited to the experienced white water rafting adventurers. The lower section is suited for the beginners of white water rafting. In between the rapids are few calm stretches of 6.5 km Kitulgala run that takes about 90 minutes to complete. Each rapid brings off its own distinctive character. Their colourful names-Head Chopper, Virgin's Breast, Butter Crunch, Killer Fall and the Rib Cage- could perhaps carry indications as what to expect.
