Visit to River Kwai and Khitulgala
Kithulgala Fact File
Kithulgala is situated 80 kilometres away from Colombo in Sri Lanka. The best and only way to Sri Lanka is by air. Several airlines from Singapore such as Cathay Pacific, Emirates, SIA, Malaysian Airlines, Thai Airways, Sri Lankan Airlines and etc flies to Colombo, capital city of Sri Lanka daily. Airfares can start from $380 onwards excluding taxes.
From Colombo you need to drive on the A7 to Nuwara Eliya via Avissawella to reach Kithulgala. It will take you approximately about 2.5 hours to reach there.
