A 25-meter waterfall that drops in multiple tiers down a rock face, located 6 kilometers from Ella town centre. Named after the well-known king Ravana from the Ramayana epic, the falls are easily accessible by road and offer swimming opportunities in natural pools at the base. It sits below the headline sights but earns its place on a longer visit to Ella, especially paired with nearby Diyaluma Falls. Entry is free and 1-2 hours 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
The most accessible waterfall near Ella with safe swimming spots and mythological significance. It is not the first thing you should see in Ella, but with two or more days it fills a gap the major sights leave. It pairs naturally with Diyaluma Falls and Ella Spice Garden - together they fill a solid half-day. Mornings are quieter if you want to take your time. Free entry makes the decision easy - walk in, see if it holds your attention, and leave when you have had enough.
