Height : 101 metres
District : Kandy
The 101m fall is the highest in the Kandy region and the stream that serves it irrigates the paddy fields of the surrounding villages.
Superstitious villagers say that there were seven vessels filled with precious stones hidden close to the fall, but that five have now been found. However, anyone attempting to find the final two will meet an untimely death at the bottom of the fall.
The route to the fall winds through villages between the Hunasgiriya mountain range and dense jungle. From Hasalaka, travel on the Kandy - Mahiyangana highway towards Wasgamuwa National Park to the Eke Ela Agri-Colony. From here, turn left onto a side road and continue until the footpath which leads to the fall after 4km. It is 7km from the Hasalaka rest-house.
Nuwani; Thank you for this great effort to save the treasured water falls of Lanka. How many water falls are there in Sri Lanka ? Is there a DVD available on this topic ? and is there an organization to save and conserve waterfalls of Sri Lanka ?
