Kalu Ganga



Kalu ganga is The river in Sri Lanka. Measuring 129 km (80 mi) in length, the river originates from Adam's Peak and reach the sea at Kalutara. The Black River flows through cities in the Sabaragamuwa and Western provinces such as Ratnapura, Mathugama and Horana. The mountainous forests in the Central Province and the Sinharaja Forest Reserve are the main sources of water for the river.
The KALU GANGA is a relaxing eco tourism destination and a relatively slow flowing river for most of the way, so there is no need for any specialist canoeing skills. Along the route you will be able to see many vegetation types and changing landscapes of Sri Lanka.
the populated Ratnapura town area, the riverbank environment becomes more scenic and peaceful, with lonely sand collectors' houses surrounded by thick vegetation and palm trees! During most of the ride the only noises you will hear are the birds' calls and the sound of your paddle dipping into the calm water.
