Waterfalls in Sri Lanka

The island is blessed with 103 rivers and streams radiating from the central hills, rushing down rocky precipices forming a number of roaring waterfalls of various shapes and heights, all ending up loosing the momentum at the Indian Ocean. Here are some of the most picturesque waterfalls, out of which only a few can be viewed with ease, where as the others can only be seen by penetrating thick forests and tea plantations

Bambarakanda Ella

The highest waterfall in Sri Lanka (865 feet), which is at it`s peak capacity during September and October.

















Diyaluma


You will find the 2nd highest waterfall around 13 Km towards "Koslanda" on the Wellawaya Road. Diyaluma means Watery light.





















Dunhinda

To see the breathtaking beauty of Dunhinda falls(210 feet), you have to travel about 5 Km from Badulla along the Mahiyangana road, and walk for another 2 Km (trekking) away from the main road.
