I recently stayed at Rapid Edge in Kitulgala, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The hotel is perfectly located with beautiful river views, giving a peaceful and natural atmosphere. Rooms are very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained — ideal for anyone looking for a relaxing stay close to nature. One of the best things about this hotel is that they also organize rafting and canyoning adventures. Their team is friendly, highly professional, and ensures safety at every step. Rafting on the Kitulgala river was thrilling, and canyoning added a unique adventure experience that I highly recommend. The staff is extremely helpful, welcoming, and always ready to assist. Whether you're coming for adventure or relaxation, They offers the perfect combination of comfort and excitement. Highly recommended for families, adventure lovers, and anyone visiting Kitulgala!

We made a last-minute booking and were lucky to get the Sky Villa – a true gem and hidden treasure! The view was absolutely breathtaking, with a private jacuzzi pool and an unbeatable sense of privacy. The service was exceptional, with staff operating at the highest level of professionalism. Totally worth the price. The feeling of being on top of a giant rock is indescribable – truly unique! The room was brand new, and we learned the hotel only opened three months ago. You definitely won’t regret staying here!

Rooms and Amenities: The rooms are thoughtfully designed with luxurious bedding and modern amenities. The spacious and spotless bathroom came fully equipped with essentials like bathroom flip-flops, dental kits, and a hairdryer, ensuring a comfortable experience. Dining Experience: Although the hotel currently serves only breakfast as they are new to the business, they go above and beyond to assist with ordering and serving lunch or dinner from nearby options. Breakfast was a highlight, served on the rooftop beside the small infinity pool. The setting was serene, complemented by soft music. The meal included a fresh fruit platter, fruit juice, milk rice, chicken with sambol, and a choice of tea or coffee. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff were exceptionally supportive and friendly, always ready to assist at any hour. Their attentiveness and willingness to ensure a seamless stay were commendable.

From reception to our bedroom was a worm welcome. Shalika and her colleagues were beyond our expectations. She even upgraded our bedroom to a river view bedroom with an open balcony, which was fantastic. Dinner and breakfast were excellent . Delicious food we all enjoyed with happy faces. We also enjoyed looking at elephants and their bath . My son was overwhelmed by seeing elephants in real life. Overall, we highly recommend Pinnalanda Grand Hotel is the best place to stay for a vacation and elephant bath view.

Mona was an incredibly gracious host, and her son is absolutely adorable. She’s also a wonderful cook—every meal was delicious and made with care. The location is truly nestled in the heart of the forest—an idyllic green paradise. That said, if you’re uncomfortable around insects or wildlife, this may not be the right spot for you, and it’s best not to waste Mona’s time. For nature lovers, though, it’s a dream come true. The natural pool is simply breathtaking.

Our first overnight stay in Sri Lanka and it couldn't have been better. Fantastically good home-cooked food with pleasant chats with the family. We learned a lot about Sri Lanka, the food and the culture. We felt very welcome. Thank you very much for a perfect start to the adventure. We would love to come back, and then we will stay longer.

Hotel was great , we arrived at 5 am and security let us in . Restaurant was great , WiFi was good , shops are a 2 min walk up the road as is the elephant orphanage. View from our room was amazing . Elephants come right up to you . Bathroom could have been cleaner but that is my only down point . Value for money 11/10 for the experience we had There is a herb garden , elephant poo factory and tea factory that are all very interesting

Kitulgala is a great stop over on your way to the hill country or coming back and avoids the Colombo Kandy route. While famous for rafting, lately there has been quite a bit of investment going into other outdoor experiences including mountain biking, trekking and other adventure activities. But even if you are not into the adrenaline rush, it's a great place to disconnect and unwind.

I love the concept behind the cave.

I love the concept behind the cave. The cave and the eco-tourism concept should be further developed, as it has the potential to greatly benefit Sri Lanka’s tourism industry. I believe Yatiyanthota has great potential to develop Sri Lanka’s eco-tourism. With its rich natural beauty, it can attract more visitors. However, we need to work hard to create more attractions and make this destination a unique tourist magnet.

Pinnawala basically has 4 main attractions therefore a maximum of 2 days is sufficient. The main attraction is the elephant orphanage. Related to that is the elephant bathing at the nearby river which is fascinating. Remember the ticket you purchase for the orphanage is required for the bathing so do both in the same day as the tickets technically only valid for the day (we did not know this so we went to the orphanage in the evening and went to see the bathing the next day.. however the kind ticket officers let us go). Then there is a mini zoo where animals roam in more space than usual. You can feed animals here which could be fascinating (for a small fee). Then there is a traditional village called Iparini Gama where you can experience live style of a traditional sri lankan village.
