Rathna Ella Waterfall

4.1(42 reviews)

About

Among Sri Lanka's local businesses, Rathna Ella Waterfall is a viewpoint that draws travellers into the hill country. The address is simply Sri Lanka, with the waterfall set inland from the coastal towns.

A waterfall viewpoint forms the whole of the attraction, with no buildings beyond the falls themselves. Visitors rate it 4.1 out of 5 from 42 reviews, and two photographs accompany the listing. Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay are the main towns that frame a trip here.

First-time visitors should expect a natural site reached on foot rather than a developed attraction with facilities. The hill-country railway line from Kandy to Ella is popular with visitors, and the journey itself forms part of many itineraries.

The southwest and west coasts are driest from December to March, while the east coast is best from May to September, so timing shapes which side of the island suits a stay. Sri Lankan meals centre on rice and curry, with hoppers, string hoppers and kottu roti as everyday dishes. Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages, and English is widely used in administration and tourism.
