A great place to do white water rafting, kayaking, abseiling, tracking...
There is a new hydroelectric plant being built. When that is built there will probably be no more rafting... get there before it’s over.

When you say Kitulgala, first thing will come to your mind...
When you say Kitulgala, first thing will come to your mind is white Water rafting and if you like adventurous holidays, this is the place to visit when you are in Sri Lanka. Except for white water rafting, the place is full of Rivers and waterfalls and you can have a very calm and enjoyable moment with the beauty of the nature. Must visit place if you are nature lover and love to have some adventurous holiday. For one of the best life time experience, try Gallene Galle for at least one night...

A lovely area.
A lovely area. Spoiled for choice of places to stay and for adventurous activities. Most places are fairly rustic in nature but comfortable. The drive from the Colombo airport to the area takes 2 1/2 to 3 hrs, a long time for a relatively short distance (roads very windy and lots of buses, lorries and tuk-tuks which slow the pace down).

Kitulgala is very well known destination among foreigners...
Kitulgala is very well known destination among foreigners and locals alike for its rapids, and white water rafting. The Kelani river flows through the area on shallow, rocky surface creating excellent venue for adventure sports. There are many service providers in the area operating white water rafting, canyoning, and many other water based adventure sports. Kitulgala is surrounded by virgin rain forests that adds to serene and relaxing environment untroubled by city traffic or pollutants. There are many places to look around, including nature walks in to forested villages, Belilena (ancient cave) and several water falls.
The location is in the middle of dense forest, with all the basic amenities at your disposal. There was a natural river pond, personally for us. The cook(Deenu) made excellent Sri Lankan food.The attendant (Amil) was very humble and prompt. This hotel is ideal for couple or those people who are looking for complete solitude. The owner was in contact with us throughout our stay and made sure that all our requirements are met. The owner also arranged White water rafting from a very reputed company which was the best part of the stay.
Moksha is in the most beautiful setting of Kitulgala. Its a real luxury set within the true nature of the area.
The rooms are a great size and well looked after.
Having both the pool and the natural pools side by side are a real treat.
The one aspect that stood out to me and my friends was the personal touch that the hotel gave us! It was something we had not experienced before. The staff were fabulous and attended to all our needs.
The family that own Moksha are an absolute delight and we hope to see them again.
The host was very supportive. Provided delicious meals with a wide variety. There are few natural pools nearby with easy and private access. The location has a nice view with a quiet surrounding. It's conveniently situated just 5 to 10 minutes away from Kitulgala, allowing easy access to all the adventurous activities this area has to offer. If you are a person who would love a homely stay by being closer to nature, this would be an ideal stay.
The views, the natural water pool and the terrace was magical! This place is very tranquil with the most beautiful views of the jungle and mountains. We were the only guests when we arrived and the stuff took a lot of care of us. They even helped us to drive our tuk tuk down because the road to the hotel is very steep and bumpy.
The staff were a natural extension of the lovely Sri Lankan people, lead by Dulana, who is an exceptional man. Polite, well articulated, and unfadingly helpful and accommodating. The property reflects this, and much more, smack in the middle of the jungle, with all the civility of a modern, clean, comfortable accommodation.
Staff was super friendly and approachable. I also liked their food which felt a lot cleaner than other foods we had in Sri Lanka. Like less oily etc. also absolutely loved having the option to go into the fresh river pond where you can see clear water and tiny fish. It was really cool and refreshing.
The hotel is in the middle of the forest and we really enjoyed staying there for one night. It was an amazing experience. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. We also enjoyed the dinner and breakfast. The people there are very friendly. We loved their project.
I love the location so much. Because this resort is at the middle of a Jungle.its only 15min Drive from Famous tourist destination Kitulgala. It has got so many nice natural pools in bank of the girankitta stream. Its clam and quiet with the sound of native birds.
Good basic affordable accommodation. Staff really approachable and happy to help. Dinner was delicious and breakfast the same and very generous. The hidden extra here is the pool in the river just below the hotel which is clean for swimming a lovely surprise.
Tranquility and proximity to water rafting. Also the rooms overhanging on the river. The sound of flowing water.The family run hotel made us most welcome and were great at sorting our diet requirements. It truly felt like a retreat. Well done , and thank you.
A new hotel, runned by a family who is very helpfull. Rooms are good and there is a shared balcony with splendid views, You can walk freely around Bibili Oya, the river next to the hotel .
Food is at average level.
Probably one of the very few decent hotels in the area, which we picked because our rafting activity started early next day.
Breakfast was good and served on time
Room was 2-story and spacious
the owners were really helpful and organized another hotel for the same price because a landslide was blocking the road to our hotel. also he’s helpful with everything you need in Kitulgala!
just wonderful.
a luxury hotel in the middle of the jungle, good food and service.
they also offer a beautiful waterfall tour with an excellent guide called Samire.
An excellent experience.
