Amazing waterfall in hasalaka. Very close to hasalaka town. Trek starts from Rathna ella village. You have to come in Wasgamuwa road and turn to eldamporuwa road. Not hard to find as there are sign boards all the way through. There are parking areas and from there you have to trek for about 4kms along a water canal. Pathway is beautiful which goes through paddy fields, jungle and village houses. There are some tricky areas you have to be bit careful of slippery rocks. Once you reach the bottom of waterfall you’ll realize all the effort you have put is really worthwhile. Don’t try to bath at the very bottom of the waterfall as many lives have been lost there. There are bathing spots on the way. Don’t bring any garbage and pollute the area.

This is located between Belihuloya and Haputhale. Need to take a detour from main road in a narrow road and if you wish to go closer to the fall need to walk too....

Diyaluma situate beside Beragala Wellawaya rode 6Km away from Koslanda. If you need to use, public transport also possible to reach this place. Once you reach there, you can climb up few steps up if water level is law. There is a pool up there. But be careful to bath there, better not to. It's sleapery also.

Beauty of Uva.. most beautiful waterfall in sri lanka..located about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from Badulla town. The waterfall, which is 64 metres (210 ft) high gets its name from the smoky dew drops spray, (Dun in sinhala means mist or smoke) which surrounds the area at the foot of the waterfall. It's also known as Bridal fall as the shape of the waterfall reflect a bridal veil. The water fall is created by the river called Badulu Oya which goes through the Badulla town.

Diyaluma Falls is the 2nd biggest waterfall in Sri Lanka and is the perfect spot for a full day adventure. There are multiple falls and natural pools throughout this hike in the Badulla region. I could’ve spent days here. There are several ways to do this hike and several starting points. First I will tell you how I did it and then give you an alternative. which is actually way above the Diyaluma Falls. From here we trekked down the hill arriving at Diyaluma Upper falls after about 30 minutes. From there Diyaluma Falls is a 10-minute walk. To get down we continued down the hill towards Koslanda village, visiting the small, local rubber factory on our way down. The alternative route is to begin at Koslanda village and hike up to the top of Diyaluma Falls, check it out and then continue to Upper Diyaluma Falls before returning the same way you came.
