The beauty of the waterfall the water falls down in two steps meaning there are two falls. It has a height reaching around 25 meters. You can get a good view of the fall from the view point located right next to the falls but be aware because there is a possibility you might get kissed by the cold water. The gigantic Kirindi Oya feeds the water to this fall. This water attraction is surrounded by a jungle.

The area around the fall is dry most of the year. The rain fall is mostly in the last three months of the year and also from May to June. During these two seasons it might get dangerous cause there is going to be so much water that you might be able to reach the view point.

Other than the beauty the falls has another unique side in Sri Lankan folk stories about the Demon King Rawana. People believed Rawana hid princess Seetha in a cave behind the falls. The Rawana falls gets its name because of this story. People believe that the other end of the cave is located in a temple close to the falls. You can visit the temple if you wish to see the cave.

If you’re planning to visit Badulla town or Ella then the Rawana falls is a definite place to visit and enjoy the beauty of this place. But don’t try to get into the water as the current is not kind. Also please help us protect the beauty of this place.

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.
