The 10 Best Multi-day Tours in Kitulgala, Sabaragamuwa Province
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 and also popular as a location for adventure based training programs.

My partner and I had a wonderful holiday in Sri Lanka, and were able to see much more of the country than we had expected, as everything was made so easy and convenient for us by the drivers at Visit So Sri Lanka. We met Duminda by chance in Colombo, on the second day of our holiday - at which stage we were unsure on the best way to get around the country. We had a surfboard and had read conflicting reviews about the trains - how busy they were and difficult to book etc. We didn't want to risk losing days of our holiday by missing trains or not being able to fit our big backpacks and board on. Having a driver was perfect, so easy. We learned valuable information about the culture and places from our driver, and visited places that we hadn't stumbled across whilst researching prior to our trip. We took the drivers between most places, and if we stopped somewhere for a few days, we would part ways until we needed to travel to the next place. So we had a good balance of time on our own and having a guided tour. Duminda was so accommodating - if we needed to leave a place early in the morning to get to our next destination, it was no problem. If we decided we wanted to change our route at the last minute, he was happy to rearrange for us. If we wanted to stop for lunch to break up the journey, he could always recommend a good curry buffet! Visit So Sri Lanka Tours are very passionate about tourists enjoying their country and experiencing the best places, sights and activities, because they love their country and want others to love it too! As per our initial plans, we weren't going to have time to see Sigiriya or do a safari, but Duminda was able to suggest an alternative itinerary so that we were able to do this. We are very grateful to this company for helping to make our holiday one that was full of adventure and will not be forgotten!

The park offers everything that is needed for an exciting safari. Great landscapes, many animals, especially elephants! We were very close to the elephants and were very lucky to be able to watch a whole herd and also some baby elephants. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize our tour guide - not only did he inspire and excite us with his very good mood, he also saw many small animals with his trained eye and answered our questions thoroughly. The 3 hours passed by in no time and gave us many nice memories. Would totally recommend booking a trip with these guys :-)

Ashiq Aswar is a superb tour guide! Him and Rizni took my family around on a tour of Colombo that included shopping and then a tour of the outskirts of a bee farm, spice gardens a private tour visiting and riding elephants. We had a great lunch in a clean and air-conditioned restaurant. The van was clean and comfortable. They picked us up and dropped us back. This trip was actually in the early part of last year in spring, but the calendar on Trip Advisor only goes back to summer of last year. They were very attentive, very caring and personable. I would highly recommend Ashiq and Kingfisher tours to anyone visiting Colombo, Sri Lanka ????????
