Thrill Adventure Tour — Riverside Camping & Adventure
A 2-day, 1-night riverside camp on the banks of the Kelani, combining rafting, stream activities and a night under canvas by the water.
Overview
Day one covers the Kelani River rafting run followed by an afternoon of stream sliding and rock-pool swimming, then camp is set up riverside for the night — dinner cooked over an open fire, and the sound of the Kelani running past your tent. Day two is a relaxed forest walk and breakfast before checkout. Good for groups and families wanting more than a single-day activity without a full multi-day itinerary.
