Surrounded by a forest of pine trees, with a height of 263 m (863 ft) this amazing beauty of nature is ranked as the 299th highest waterfall in the world and can be directly seen from the A4 Highway. The legendary Ravana Falls most popularly known as Ravana Ella is the widest and most furious of waterfalls in Sri Lanka. It is believed historically that the Sri Lankan King Ravana kept Seetha, an Indian princess hidden here in a secret cave covered by this waterfall thus making the fall to be named after him.

Another spectacular waterfall that is a must-see is the Diyaluma Falls which is the second-highest waterfall in Sri Lanka situated just 6 km away from Koslanda on Colombo-Badulla highway. If you like to travel a couple of hours from our hotel to see the most beautiful waterfall in Sri Lanka, you are sure to wind up with a treat with the charming Dunhinda Falls located about 5 km off Badulla town.
