Exploring The Jungle River
September 13, 2010
The Jungle River flows from the Sinharaja Rainforest towards Kalutara, winding its way through virgin jungle on route to the coast. We explore the river close to its jungle birth place, paddling along a flat meandering section under the shady jungle canopy. We break our journey at Hartley bungalow hidden amongst this undisturbed wilderness it was once the home of the artist George Keyt. On longer trips we spend the night at the bungalow, before continuing downriver through dramatic jungle covered hillocks that shape the rivers course.
The river has the feel of real adventure, with no previous canoeing experience required, to enjoy the natural beauty of this trip.

Hi,
I am organising a sports tour from England to Sri Lanka arriving on Monday.
I am interested in trying to arrange a few hours canoeing for beginners.
They are 45 boys and 5 adults – is there anything you could suggest? They have a free-ish day in Bentota on Friday 22nd July.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Victor
