Bambarakanda Falls stands proudly as the tallest waterfall in Sri Lanka, cascading from a height of 263 meters in the heart of the island’s hill country. Despite its height and grandeur, it remains blissfully unspoiled and less crowded, making it a perfect retreat for nature lovers and photographers alike.
Nestled within a quiet pine forest, the area around the waterfall offers:
🌿 A cool and refreshing atmosphere
🧘 Ideal spots for relaxation or meditation
📸 Breathtaking photo opportunities, especially during the rainy season when the fall is at its fullest
Just 5 km off the A4 Highway near Kalupahana, the road to the falls is accessible by most vehicles, though a short hike may be required for the final stretch. It’s a manageable detour on the way to or from Horton Plains, Haputale, or Ella.
The stream, Kuda Oya, which feeds the falls, eventually flows into the Walawe River.
The area is part of the Badulla District’s hidden natural treasures, perfect for eco-tourists and adventure seekers.
