Dunhinda Falls
About
Dunhinda Falls serves Sri Lanka from its setting near Badulla, in the hill country of the island's interior. Visitors have given the falls 4.7 out of 5 across 254 reviews, a strong showing that reflects steady satisfaction among those who make the trip.
The falls sit close to Badulla, which is reached by road and rail from Kandy and the central highlands, so the site is reachable from the main tourist routes through the interior. Travellers based in Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna or Arugam Bay can plan a day trip into the hills, since Badulla anchors the location and the falls sit in the surrounding hill country rather than on the coast.
Dunhinda Falls is an attraction, and its reputation rests on the waterfall and the surrounding scenery rather than on any built facilities.
Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages of Sri Lanka, and English is widely used in administration and tourism. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays. Asian elephants, sloth bears and leopards live in Sri Lanka's national parks, including Yala and Wilpattu.
