Sri Lanka’s highest waterfall, the horsetail Bambarakanda Ella Falls cascades beautifully from a cliff face amidst high mountains in the hill country, in Kalupahana. Ranked the 299th tallest waterfall in the world, it has an impressive height of 790 ft. A picturesque waterfall which is spectacular to see and it originates from Kuda Oya which is a branch of the Walawe River. This destination with endless panoramas of the plains is a perfect getaway for family picnics and excellent photography of nature and scenery. At the bottom of the falls, there is a natural pool in which one can enjoy a dip and swim for fun and leisure.
There is an interesting trail/hike to the top of the falls for the adventurous seeking a thrilling hiking experience. The best time to visit the falls would ideally be from the months of March to May since it is during this period, there is a considerable amount of water which gives great flow.
There are two routes to the Lanka Ella waterfall as far as we know, one path that veers off to the left from the path to the Bambarakanda waterfalls, through the pine forest, and one path that goes downhill from the “weli wanguwa” on the Kalupahana-Ohiya road.
Both routes are scenic so be sure to stop and enjoy the views along the way. The pool at the bottom is in the shape of Sri Lanka, hence the name. It’s a beautiful picnic spot too, Sit, relax, enjoy the magnificent view and the melodies of nature.
