    We had a fantastic time bird watching and rafting through the stunning landscapes of Kitulgala in Sri Lanka, especially spotting the vibrant Sri Lanka Hanging Parrot.

    The bird watching experience in Kitulgala was a peaceful escape, with vibrant species flitting through the lush greenery. I found the white water rafting exhilarating, though the water levels were a bit low, which made some sections less thrilling than I expected. Overall, the combination of nature and adventure made for a memorable day in Sri Lanka, despite the minor hiccup with the river conditions.

    Navigating the lush landscapes of Kitulgala in Sri Lanka was a refreshing escape from our business routine, with the thrill of white water rafting complemented by serene moments of bird watching; however, we found the transportation to be a bit cramped for our group.
