Bambarakiri Ella Waterfall

Bambarakiri Ella Waterfall is a charming and easily accessible waterfall located near Rattota in the Matale District, within the scenic Knuckles mountain range. Although relatively small in height at around 3 metres, the beauty of this waterfall lies in its natural setting and unique features.

Surrounded by dense evergreen forest, the waterfall flows gently over a rocky formation, creating a peaceful and refreshing environment. The highlight of Bambarakiri Ella is the suspension bridge that stretches across the stream, offering visitors a distinctive vantage point and a memorable experience.

The Knuckles range, known for its rugged terrain and rich biodiversity, provides a lush backdrop to the waterfall, making it a popular stop for nature lovers and travelers exploring the area. The location is especially attractive due to its easy accessibility, being situated close to the roadside.

A smaller secondary waterfall can also be found nearby, reached by walking a short distance through a jungle footpath after crossing the bridge. This adds an extra element of exploration for visitors.

Despite its popularity, visitors should exercise caution as the rocks can be slippery and the water flow can be unpredictable during rainy periods. The site remains a peaceful and scenic destination ideal for short stops and photography.
