Kirindi Ella Waterfall Pelmadulla

4.7(452 reviews)

About

Found on Sri Lanka, Kirindi Ella Waterfall Pelmadulla sits at Kuttapitiya, Pelmadulla, in the island's interior hill country. It is an attraction in Sri Lanka that draws visitors travelling between the central highlands and the southern coast. The waterfall carries a 4.7 out of 5 average from 452 reviews, placing it among the more reviewed natural sights on the island.

Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay are all within reach, so the falls can be folded into a wider route. Kandy and Colombo sit closest to the central highlands, while Galle, Mirissa and Unawatuna anchor the southern coast. That spread makes the waterfall a natural stop for anyone moving between the hill country and the beaches.

Buses serve most routes, three-wheelers are common for short trips, and traffic drives on the left. Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages of Sri Lanka, and English is widely used in administration and tourism. A 4.7 out of 5 average from 452 reviews gives the waterfall a strong standing among the island's attractions.

Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon until 1972, and its ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa reward travellers who extend a highland route. The island sits in the Indian Ocean with a central highland mass and coastal plains all around, which is why a waterfall at Pelmadulla feels so different from the coast. Reaching it from Kandy or Colombo is straightforward by road.
