Waterfall Bambarakanda

Bambarakanda Falls
Sri lanka, Nuwara Eliya
The highest waterfall in Ceylon is located in the forested region of Kalupahan, near the town of Badull. The height of the ledge is 263 meters (this is the highest waterfall in Sri Lanka and the 299th in the world). The climb to the top of the waterfall is not difficult, but shoes with anti-slip soles are required (slippery rocky steps). At the foot of Bambarakanda there are several natural pools where you can swim. According to the legend, waterfalls protect from evil spirits and, having bathed in their waters, a person acquires protection from evil spirits. Near the waterfall, the area conquers with its beauty: forests, tea plantations, small waterfalls. You can also visit the guesthouse overlooking the waterfall. The best time to visit is winter.

A picturesque road leads to the waterfall with beautiful views of the forests and mountains. It is breathtaking when you drive out from behind the next turn you see the waterfall itself! It is best to visit this place after the rain - then there is a lot of water. A mini-lake accumulates at the foot - you can swim after a long climb. On the weekend, a lot of locals usually come here for a picnic, so don't expect peace! How to get there: along the highway Balangoda - Badulla (A-4), to the town of Kalupakhana.
