1 review of Nilwala River

Interesting site to see

The Nilwala River is the third longest river in Sri Lanka. It starts in the mountainous part of the island, Hill Country, at the height of Deniyaya. Then it starts to go down to the city of Matara, where it meets the Indian Ocean.

The water from the river is responsible for irrigating all of the Deniyaya fields, which includes tea, rubber and other various cropts. You can visit the riverside gardens of various plant species where crops like cardamom, cinnamon, and traditional medicinal trees are grown. The river is considered a dangerous place for swimming because there are crocodiles! However, you can rent a boat with a guide to go touring and discover the flora and fauna of this area.
