However, prioritize your health and comfort. Consider exploring the charming town of Nuwara Eliya instead, visiting its colonial-era buildings, immersing yourself in the local markets, or simply relaxing at a cozy cafe.
A Day of Thrills in Kitulgala
Morning: White Water Rafting : If you’re feeling absolutely fantastic and your stomach is a distant memory, then white water rafting on the Kelani River is the ultimate adventure!

Here’s the important part: Abseiling requires physical exertion, so only attempt it if you’re 100% confident your stomach won’t object.
