Olu Ella water fall
About
Found on Sri Lanka, Olu Ella water fall sits at Punugala, within reach of Kandy and the central highlands. Colombo, Galle, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay lie further afield around the coast.
This attraction has earned a 4.6 out of 5 average from 131 reviews, a strong record that points to a waterfall visitors rate highly. Punugala places it inland rather than on the coast, in the hill country at the centre of the island.
Sri Lanka has a tropical climate, with two monsoon systems bringing rain to different coasts at different times. The southwest and west coasts are driest from December to March, while the east coast is best from May to September, so the island rarely has one single season for everything.
Asian elephants, sloth bears and leopards live in national parks including Yala and Wilpattu. The island was known as Ceylon until 1972, and ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa survive from its earlier kingdoms.
