The river's headwaters are located in the Gongala Mountain range, near Deniyaya, bordering the Sinharaja Forest Reserve.[2] The river flows past the villages of Baddegama, Nagoda, Thelikada and Hegoda. The Wakwella Bridge, which was the longest bridge in Sri Lanka, is built over this river. The river is also dammed at Thelikada. The mouth of the river is at Gintota, just north of Galle, where it flows into the Indian Ocean. Gin Ganga (Sinhala: ගිං ගඟ; Tamil: கிங்கங்கை) is considered one of the important rivers in southern Sri Lanka. The chronicle Mahavamsa mentions this river as Galu Nadi in its chapter that describe the civil war during the reign of King Parakramabahu I [(1153-1186 A.D. Nicholas, 1963]. The river originates from the Gongala mountains in Deniyaya (Wickramaarachchi et al., 2012; Wijesiri, 2015). It drains part of the southern province and passes Udugama, Mapalagama, Agaliya, and Baddegama (Seneviratne, 2011). After travelling about 112.5 km, it eventually empties into the Indian Ocean at Gintota in Galle District (Seneviratne, 2011; Wickramaarachchi et al., 2012). It annually discharges about 1268 million cubic meters to sea (Wickramaarachchi et al., 2012). The streams draining to Gin Ganga include Holuwagoda Ela, Keembi Ela- Puhulduwa Ela, Galagoda Puhulduwa Ela, Unanviti Ela, Mamina Dola, Kudawa Ganga, Halpatota Ela and Kudubiri Ela, Divithura Ela, Maben Ela, Therun Ela, Gonala Ela, and Malamure Ela (Seneviratne, 2011). River basin The Gin Ganga river has a catchment area of about 932 km2 (Wickramaarachchi et al., 2012; Wijesiri, 2015). Nearly 83% of the catchment belongs to Galle district and the balance shared by Matara, Kalutara and Ratnapura Districts (Wijesiri, 2015). The catchment consists of mainly natural and plantation forest, agriculture and settlements of communities (Wijesiri, 2015)

Gin Ganga is a river sourcing from Sinharaja Forest Reserve in Gongala Mountain Range in Rathnapura District of Sabaragamuwa Province in Sri Lanka, few kilometers above Deniyaya in Galle District, Southern Province. The river flows in a south-westerly direction along 116 km path almost in Galle District with river mouth to Indian Ocean at Ginthota, 6.5 km from Galle Town, renowned for the Granite Dutch Fortress with old Clock Tower built in the 17th Century backgrounding the adjoining beautiful Cricket Ground and the natural harbor in the Bay of Galle in the Indian Ocean. The River flows through beautiful Forest Ranges and Tea Estates passing through towns and mostly agricultural villages like Deniyaya, Neluwa, Tawalama, Hiniduma, Udugama, Mapalagama, Nagoda, Waduwelivitiya, Unanvitiya, Baddegama, Halpathota, Dodangoda, Wakwella and Ginthota. The River also bounds several Buddhist Temples and renowned religious places, such as Christ Church, Baddegama built in 1825 A.D. and the famous Calvary Shrine at Hiniduma, a Replica of Mount Calvary built in 1948 on a small hill call Kurusakanda. Famous Dutugemunu Raja Maha Viharaya, also with 10 statues depicting the 10 worries of ancient King Dutugemunu (161 BC - 137 BC) is situated only 3 km southwards from Gin Ganga at Baddegama (2.5 km from Baddegama Southern Highway Exit), a Town around 10 km from the famous tourist attractions at Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka.
