Rathna Ella Water Fall in Hasalaka

Rathna ella is located in Hasalaka, Kandy district, you should travel through the 18 bends to find this location. I have written about the 18 bend on my last article, check that out too if you want to know about the 18 bends. When you travel through the main road this water fall can be seen (Kandy to Mahiyangana).

When you travel through the main road you will reach hasalaka town. from there you should travel until you reach the “Rathna ella wasama”. Then you will find a small pathway along a small stream which is named as hasalaka stream, you should travel a small distance along that pathway. Then you will reach the 10^th highest waterfall in Srilanka, which is called the “Rathna ella”. The height of the water fall is 101 meters.

This journey won’t be difficult as you can ask the directions from the villagers, where they are willing to help you. Or try to hire a guide. Try learning Sinhala, it will help you a lot

In rainy seasons (October to February) this road become muddy. So, the travelers struggle to travel through this pathway. Most of them doesn’t travel in the rainy seasons due to this problem. If you are travelling at rainy seasons be careful of leeches.

When we take the history of this place, there is rumor that king Rawana and Seethadewi bathed on this waterfall. King Rawana is a demon king of Srilanka. When I heard those word from villager I talked with, I felt so interested.

Rathna ella is the most beautiful and stunning location in Kandy district. The trees, and the birds make it more beautiful. Once you enter this place you will feel like you want to bath, but don’t try to bath near the waterfall, because people have been dead trying to bath near the waterfall. I don’t have an explanation for that but please don’t do it, because it’s extremely dangerous. As you come back through the pathway there are many places to bath.

At last 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.

Thank you
