It is the longest hike and wonderful journey for me by walk. I went with few frinds via Ohiya Hortain plains entrance and Udaweriya estate. It's not a rainy day and mountain view is suprb . The highest waterfall of Sri Lanka is Bambarakanda fall and we climb down from top to bottom of fall through forest. And we saw upper fall and lower fall on the way.

One of the best hike I have ever done in my life, from Haputale town we hike through the Black Forest jungle, it was great adventure. It took almost 3 hours to reach the view point. We have able to see some wild life animals, birds, small mammals, lizards etc. we get down from the thotalagala side which is other side of the mountains to see lake Richmond. Highly recommend to do this hike if your in Haputale. Same hike you can visit the ravana cave too.

We just found this gem of a souvenir shop by coincidence and I must say that if you want to buy some really nice handcrafted souvenirs this is the place to go. The owner is more than friendly and sells his goods for a very reasonable price! We bought two lovley handpainted elephants, and he instantly gave us a discount. Places like these make souvenir shopping a pleasant time. Two thumbs up! :)
6. Rathna Ella waterfall
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By chathuandishanka - Kalutara, Sri Lanka
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.

We just spent three nights at Amba Estates Tea Farm/B&B and were thoroughly enchanted and pleased. The people are incredibly friendly from staff, to owners, to guides. We enjoyed wonderful Sri Lankan meals, great hikes including one at sunrise, and an informative tour of the tea, coffee, clove, and cinnamon fields which ended with a tea tasting. We happened to be there over Christmas and loved the kids Christmas pageant. Would love to go back!!!

Anyone who makes the trek up the mountain will be rewarded with spectacular views and spectacular spiritual teachings of the Buddha. Curious people of all backgrounds are welcome.

I have been attracted to this place since I visited the first time. Leaving from a busy life for a while and staying in a "Kuti" on top of the hill, surrounded by green trees has become one of my favorites on every trip to Sri Lanka. Relaxing on the wooden floor under palm leaves roof, facing fresh air coming through the green mountains and talking about the inner peace of our lives?? simply, I am craving for it so badly..

It was a wonderful experience to visit this attraction. The Buddhist monk on site explained the history of the bridge. It is a fascinating part of Sri Lanka’s history. The location is a bit of off track, several kilometres from Badulla. If you are into history, this is a must visit location.

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.
