Multi-tiered waterfall dropping approximately 109 meters down rocky cliffs along the Pussellawa-Nuwara Eliya road. The falls are easily visible from the main road, and a short hiking trail leads to the base where you can feel the spray and see the full height of the cascade. It ranks among Nuwara Eliya's most visited sights, and for good reason - most itineraries include it on day one. Entry is free and 30 minutes to 1 hour gives you a thorough visit.
What It Is
What you experience depends on the season. Spring and summer are the strongest months, but even in winter the grounds have a quiet appeal. Dress for the weather - you are outdoors the entire time.
Why Visit
Easily accessible waterfall that provides a refreshing break during the mountain drive. That puts it near the top of any Nuwara Eliya visit, and it deserves the spot. Combine it with Seetha Amman Temple and Tea plantations along A5 highway - they are close enough to walk between and together make the strongest half-day in Nuwara Eliya. Free entry makes the decision easy - walk in, see if it holds your attention, and leave when you have had enough.
