Kadiyanlena Falls
consists of three sections and the Nawalapitiya - Kotmale road lies in the
middle of it. The three-arched bridge over the fall’s dates back to
British times. Only two sections of the waterfall are visible on this
bridge. The third section is just below the bridge. To fully view the
falls, you must walk down the footpath a short distance from the bridge.
The name of the
village where this waterfall is located is also Kadiyanlena. Hence the
name of the waterfall. It is also known as Catabula Falls because of the
name of the nearby tea estate. It is fed by the Kadiyanlena Oya which is
formed from water catchment areas in Lidula and Kotagala areas. This
stream joins the Hatton Oya near Nawalapitiya.
The view of the
waterfall during the rainy season is breathtaking and if you go here during that
time, you too can experience that charm. The Kadiyanlena Falls is about 24
meters high and has several bathing spots. But do not swim in the pool
where the third part of the waterfall crashes. There are also two small
hydro power plants in the vicinity.
If you are looking for
a tourist attraction around Nuwara Eliya, come and visit this
waterfall. Also, make sure that the area around the falls is never
littered with polythene, plastic and debris.
