Laxapana Falls, Seven Virgin Hills and Kitulgala Rafting

Meet and greet your Colombo tour guide, then set out for your tour.

Travel to the beautiful Laxapana Falls after hotel pickup. Laxapana Falls is 126 m high, making it the 8th-highest waterfall in Sri Lanka and the 625th-highest waterfall in the world. It offers a breathtaking view and feels as though you are far away from the outside world.

En route, overlook the Seven Virgin Hills and the historical plane crash site and its remains.

Climb down toward the falls, which takes about 20 minutes.

Visit the upper area of the falls as well, and return from the whole site within 120 minutes.

Head to Kitulgala and participate in a white water rafting activity. This activity can take up to 3 hours.

Head back to the hotel after rafting.

Proceed to see St Clair's Falls. This destination is optional, as you will have to view it from afar. Stop en route to Nuwara Eliya to admire the falls.

Return homewards.
