The hardest task starts from there, you should travel 2km by walking from the junction. But there are tuck shops side by the road, where you can buy refreshments. Those tuck shops are run by villagers, where you can rest and refreshed. Don’t forget to bring fruits when you are travelling, because there are monkeys, you can feed them and at the same time you can restore your energy.

This is an exhausting journey, but when you reach the Dunhinda water fall you will feel the time you spend is worthy. The beauty of this water fall takes all your stress and tired away. The height of this water fall is 65 meters. The best time to enjoy the view is in the morning, the freezing air and the singing birds makes the view so beautiful. Dunhinda stream is fall out as Dunhinda waterfall.

A view point is built by our government, where you can enjoy the view safely. If you want more adventure you can go down to the bottom of the waterfall and enjoy the stunning view. The water is so cold down there, try touching it you will feel the coldness.

When you go down to the bottom of the water fall don’t try to bath, because the water level suddenly rises, you can be dragged by the water. So, it’s too dangerous. In rainy days don’t go down, its extremely dangerous. Just try to enjoy the view from the view point.

About 1km away from the Dunhinda water fall there is another small waterfall called little Dunhinda. No one can go near it, but it can be seen when you are walking through the road. The beauty of this little waterfall is the same as the main one.

I have a small request from you all, please don’t pollute the area. If you brought something don’t leave it, take it home and put it into a dustbin. Enjoy the view, take photos do whatever you want but don’t pollute the environment. It’s our responsibility to keep our world clean.

Don’t forget to visit this place if you are travelling Badulla.
