St. Clair Falls
About
St. Clair Falls serves Sri Lanka as one of the waterfalls on the route through the central highlands, earning a 4.7 out of 5 average from 403 reviews.
The site sits along the Avissawella - Hatton - Nuwara Eliya Hwy at Talawakelle, Sri Lanka, on the road that climbs from the lowlands toward Nuwara Eliya. Visitors travelling from Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna or Arugam Bay can reach it by road, with Kandy and the hill country towns the most convenient bases. A 4.7 rating from 403 reviews places it among the more frequently reviewed stops in the highlands.
Talawakelle lies in the tea-growing hill country, where the highway threads through estates and steep valleys. The 4.7 average from 403 reviews reflects how consistently travellers respond to the falls.
Coconut, sambol and curry leaves flavour Sri Lankan cooking, and Ceylon tea comes from the central highlands, so a stop in this part of the island pairs naturally with a visit to a working tea estate.
