The Country that Keeps Giving, Sri Lanka

Our last week in Si Lanka has been just as busy as the first. The exploration has continued and the quality rivers have kept flowing.

Still more highlights on the map that we just don't have time to explore

Convenient rainfall has come at the right time and in the right places, it is almost as if the country is guiding us up the right valleys and making sure we make the right choices to get the maximum possible boating done with our limited time. Life is more than alright right now!

But watch out for this guys bigger brothers!

Not all super hardcore, but variety is all part of the game!

The only real disappointment we’ve had is that we missed high flows in a little creek near to the Borderlands (Rafting Company) camp. A scouting mission showed us a clean 30 foot park and huck with some more slides downstream, some nice, others a little on the dirty side!

Inspecting from the top...

This super sweet little gem we’ll have to leave for a future expedition to conquer. Or who knows, with the coaching sessions we’ve provided for safety kayakers at Borderlands maybe it will be a Sri Lankan who claims this first descent!

...and from the misty bottom!
