Our family stay at Moksha Hotel was absolutely wonderful! Nestled in the heart of the jungle, the hotel offers a truly unique experience with private access to a stream and a natural pool, which were perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with nature. Right from our warm welcome, the staff made us feel at home and were exceptionally attentive to our needs. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, ideal for families, with breathtaking views that enhanced our experience. Dining at the hotel was a treat, with a variety of tasty and kid-friendly meal options that pleased everyone. The location is perfect for families, providing easy access to nearby attractions and activities, yet offering a peaceful retreat in nature’s embrace. The staff's dedication to making our stay memorable was truly commendable. Moksha Hotel is a fantastic choice for families looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway in the lap of nature. We can’t wait to come back!"

A great place to do white water rafting, kayaking, abseiling, tracking...
There is a new hydroelectric plant being built. When that is built there will probably be no more rafting... get there before it’s over.

When you say Kitulgala, first thing will come to your mind...
When you say Kitulgala, first thing will come to your mind is white Water rafting and if you like adventurous holidays, this is the place to visit when you are in Sri Lanka. Except for white water rafting, the place is full of Rivers and waterfalls and you can have a very calm and enjoyable moment with the beauty of the nature. Must visit place if you are nature lover and love to have some adventurous holiday. For one of the best life time experience, try Gallene Galle for at least one night...

A lovely area.
A lovely area. Spoiled for choice of places to stay and for adventurous activities. Most places are fairly rustic in nature but comfortable. The drive from the Colombo airport to the area takes 2 1/2 to 3 hrs, a long time for a relatively short distance (roads very windy and lots of buses, lorries and tuk-tuks which slow the pace down).

Kitulgala is very well known destination among foreigners...
Kitulgala is very well known destination among foreigners and locals alike for its rapids, and white water rafting. The Kelani river flows through the area on shallow, rocky surface creating excellent venue for adventure sports. There are many service providers in the area operating white water rafting, canyoning, and many other water based adventure sports. Kitulgala is surrounded by virgin rain forests that adds to serene and relaxing environment untroubled by city traffic or pollutants. There are many places to look around, including nature walks in to forested villages, Belilena (ancient cave) and several water falls.
It's one of the best hotels in which we have ever stayed (and we travel quite a lot).
Located far from the tourist areas and near the mountain river, this place allows you to literally forget about the hectic rush and stress of everyday life.
Modern design and thoroughly thought-out furnishing will make your stay very comfortable. Staff is always at your disposal and ready to help with every need.
The chef deserves special praise - It’s the level of a first-class european restaurant.
The host was very supportive. Provided delicious meals with a wide variety. There are few natural pools nearby with easy and private access. The location has a nice view with a quiet surrounding. It's conveniently situated just 5 to 10 minutes away from Kitulgala, allowing easy access to all the adventurous activities this area has to offer. If you are a person who would love a homely stay by being closer to nature, this would be an ideal stay.
The forest setting is absolutely amazing. The journey along the road itself is a once in a lifetime experience! It is pretty remote but if you are prepared it is well worth the effort. There are self catering facilities so we cooked for ourselves but the hotel will get food delivered in for you with a bit of notice if you prefer. The staff were very helpful - they helped us organise a fab rafting trip and a taxi to our next destination.
The views, the natural water pool and the terrace was magical! This place is very tranquil with the most beautiful views of the jungle and mountains. We were the only guests when we arrived and the stuff took a lot of care of us. They even helped us to drive our tuk tuk down because the road to the hotel is very steep and bumpy.
The staff were a natural extension of the lovely Sri Lankan people, lead by Dulana, who is an exceptional man. Polite, well articulated, and unfadingly helpful and accommodating. The property reflects this, and much more, smack in the middle of the jungle, with all the civility of a modern, clean, comfortable accommodation.
Staff was super friendly and approachable. I also liked their food which felt a lot cleaner than other foods we had in Sri Lanka. Like less oily etc. also absolutely loved having the option to go into the fresh river pond where you can see clear water and tiny fish. It was really cool and refreshing.
This was the most amazing hotel I have stayed in , beautiful setting and very calming , we swam in the river , the piling pool at our room was amazing as was the steam room. The food was great and the staff couldn’t do enough for you . I highly recommend this hotel if you fancy a bit of luxury.

Untouched nature resort in Kitulgala. We really enjoyed the gjrankitta stream bathing and playing some water activities in this lovely location. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Specially the chef kumara prepared us our own sri Lankan type meal deliciously.
A new hotel, runned by a family who is very helpfull. Rooms are good and there is a shared balcony with splendid views, You can walk freely around Bibili Oya, the river next to the hotel .
Food is at average level.
Probably one of the very few decent hotels in the area, which we picked because our rafting activity started early next day.
Breakfast was good and served on time
Room was 2-story and spacious
just wonderful.
a luxury hotel in the middle of the jungle, good food and service.
they also offer a beautiful waterfall tour with an excellent guide called Samire.
An excellent experience.
