Waterfalls

Sri Lanka is home to over 100 named waterfalls, concentrated across three regions: the Nuwara Eliya and Hatton highlands, the Knuckles Conservation Forest, and the Uva Province around Ella and Haputale. From the 263-metre single-drop Bambarakanda to secluded jungle cascades that require a short trek, these are the falls worth visiting. Most are at their fullest from January to March — each guide below includes seasonal flow notes so you can time your visit right.
