Ziplining & Canyoning
A half-kilometre zip line across the Ella valley, and waterfall abseiling in the Kitulgala rainforest.
The Flying Ravana line at Ella runs about half a kilometre across the valley on two parallel cables, so you can go side by side with someone. It takes under a minute, the view towards Little Adam's Peak is enormous, and it is the least strenuous adrenaline available in the hill country.
Canyoning at Kitulgala is the more involved option: a morning descending a rainforest stream by abseiling down waterfalls, sliding natural rock chutes and jumping into plunge pools, with a guide reading the water ahead of you. Both run with certified equipment and a proper briefing, and neither requires prior experience.
