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.

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.

We participated in the cooking class and garden tour at Ella Spice Garden and would highly recommend this activity to others looking to spend an afternoon preparing a traditional Sri Lankan meal. Our hosts communicated well with us, kept us engaged in the cooking class and lead us in the preparation of two curries, dahl and coconut sambol. We were all encouraged to participate and although this is more of an observational class rather than an immersive participatory cooking class, we feel that the instructions given during the class along with the notebook provided to jot down recipes and notes, will allow us to reproduce these recipes at home. The Spice Garden shop is also open at the end of the meal which gave us a great opportunity to purchase ingredients that are difficult to procure once home.

Went for a nice walk and got some great views of the valley and the water falls. You can buy cold water along the way at reasonable prices if you don't want to pack water with you.

A well known waterfall in Sri Lanka
Reviewed By Travelwithjaya1 - Badulla, Sri Lanka
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.
10. Ella Rock

Ella rock roughly takes you 1.5 hours to climb. If you're fit and healthy it can be climbed in a shorter time. It really is a beautiful hike, taking you through long grass, bridges, beautiful forests. There are many routes to hike, and you can get guides who will take you as well. The views once you reach the top are excellent. Definitely a must do when you reach Ella!
