Destination Overview

Essential background & heritage of Kirindi Ella Falls, Pelmadulla

Majestic 116-meter cascade descending in a silvery column into a deep pool shrouded by virgin rainforest.

Cascading 116 meters through dense tropical evergreen forest, Kirindi Ella is the 7th highest waterfall in Sri Lanka. The Kirindi Oya leaps over a sheer precipice into a deep amphitheater pool that local folklore claims conceals a submerged treasure cave guarded by spirits.
