À vivre

Kitulgala is a small town at the heart of Sri Lanka, known for having been the filming location for “The Bridge on the River Kwai” (1957), shot on the surrounding river.
The town also serves as a base for white-water rafting, which begins a few kilometres upstream.
Many come from Colombo for a weekend to enjoy the beauty of the landscape, stroll along the river or simply sample the excellent rice and curry served at lunchtime in local restaurants.
