It takes approximately three hours from Negombo to reach the destination for white water rafting which is about 95 kilometers via Minuwangoda,, Ruwanwella to Kitulgala. After traveling a distance of 35 kilometers from Negombo you will come across the beautiful view of the hills on which rubber and pineapple plantations exist on either side of the road. Here you can have the opportunity of viewing the rubber manufacturing process on a large scale for exports. You may also watch how the workers obtain rubber by cutting the bark of rubber trees (which is an art of their own) and how rubber milk is colleted into containers fixed on the rubber tree trunks. Thereafter 21 kilometers away from Ruwanwella you will travel along the Kelani River boarder from Ingiriyawatta until reaching Kitulgala.
