Are you interested in the waterfalls of Sri Lanka? You will be pleasantly surprised that their concentration here is one of the highest in the world. In this regard, a visit to at least a few of these natural creations should be included in the recreation program.
Bambarakanda
This 263-meter waterfall (visible from the A4 highway) is best visited in March-May, when you can navigate around it along the paths and rocky steps (they do not slide, since rain is unlikely at this time). Before climbing, you can stop at the foot of the waterfall to take a dip in the natural pool.
Baker Falls
The 20-meter waterfall is named after Samuel Baker and is surrounded by ferns and rhododendrons that are worth admiring. Those who wish can find here places suitable for viewing the waterfall and taking photographs. It is worth noting that the ascents and descents are quite steep, so this adventure should be abandoned during the rainy season. In addition, it is not recommended to ignore the warning signs on the way (they say about the prohibition of swimming in pools, where many people died).
Bobat waterfall
The 30-meter waterfall (its top is shaped like a heart), the waters of which “fall” into the Kurd Ganges River, is popular with tourists: they prefer to organize picnics in its vicinity.
Ravana waterfall
Despite its small height (25 m; and the height of the main stream is about 10 m), it bears the title of one of the picturesque natural objects of Sri Lanka: this is due to the fact that the water, flowing down the steps at different levels, acquires different shades. And nearby, if you wish, you can find the cave of the same name.
Saint Clair Falls
With a width of 50 m and a height of 80 m, St. Clair consists of 2 cascades, and is included in the 10 best Sri Lankan falls. In addition, it flows along the slope, “cutting” tea plantations with its current.
Dunhinda waterfall
The 59-meter waterfall is named so (Duns of Sinhalese - "fog") because of the haze that constantly envelops its foot (dew can be seen on the plants next to the waterfall). It will be possible to get here from the bus station by bus or auto-rickshaw (a kilometer path leading from the highway will "lead you" to Dunhind).
