Bopath Ella Falls
Bedste tid at besøge
Visiting between 7-10 am during December to April is best. At this time the water flow is sufficient, but crowds are fewer and the weather is clear.
Budgettips
There is no entry fee to reach the waterfall, only a nominal parking fee. Hire a tuk-tuk from the nearby village, it will be cheaper than a bus or private cab.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Dette vandfald, der løber gennem de tætte skove i Ratnapura-distriktet, falder fra en højde på 30 meter og har en form, der ligner et Bodhi-træs blad. Vandfaldet falder i tre niveauer og munder ud i Kuruvita-floden, som senere bliver en del af Kalu-floden.
Højdepunkter: Når vandstrømmen er på sit højeste i regntiden, kan vandfaldets brøl høres tydeligt en kilometer væk, og vandstøvet skaber en regnbuelignende effekt omkring det. De lokale tror, at et bad under dette vandfald kan helbrede hudsygdomme, hvilket er grunden til, at tusindvis af pilgrimme kommer her hvert år.
Insidertips
- Wear shoes with good grip due to the narrow valley and slippery path; going in slippers or sandals can be dangerous.
- There is a small platform on the left side of the waterfall which offers the best photo angle of the entire waterfall; reach there before 8 am on weekends.
- Do not swim directly under the waterfall, the water pressure can be very strong; instead bathe in the natural pool formed on the side.
- There are no food shops nearby, so be sure to carry a water bottle and some light snacks with you.
