Exploring The Jungle River

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.
