The beauty of Bomburu Falls

Bomburu Ella or Perawella Ella is located in the Uva Paranagama Divisional Secretariat Division close to the Badulla - Nuwara Eliya district boundary. This waterfall is the widest waterfall in Sri Lanka. This beautiful Bomburu Falls is located in the Seetha Eliya Kandapola Forest Reserve in the village of Perawella, about 15 km from Welimada.

The Dulgala River, another tributary of the Mahaweli River, is formed by falling into four parts. The height of the falls is about 50 meters and the width are only 20 meters. Sources indicate that the lower part of the falls is known as Uma Oya.

If you are coming here from Kandy, you should come to Welimada via Nuwara Eliya and those coming to Colombo should come to Bandarawela and then to Welimada. From Welimada town, there is a bus to Bomburu Falls across the Uduwaha. If you are coming in your own vehicle, you will have to follow the foot path to Bomburu Ella from Welimada to Uva Paranagama Road, Ambagasdowa Junction, Himbiliyagahamadiththa Mudanawa Junction, about 11 km. If you go to this waterfall, ask the villagers for details. If you go for 2 km along the footpath you will find this waterfall. The area is populated with beautiful fields and greenery. Get ready for this trip as my leeches are plentiful.

This biodiversity hotspot also served as a hunting ground in the British Era. The sound of the falls is large and the dew rises about 30 meters. Below the falls, there is also a place for you to bath. The falls are even more beautiful as the fog flows over the Bombar Falls. Really, no matter how much you look at this waterfall. The waterfall is spectacular.

It is said that a legend relating to an elephant of King Rajasinghe II was attached to this village. However, this waterfall is still unknown to many tourists in Sri Lanka. Now we hear that many people are going to visit this bombshell and the beautiful environment is being destroyed. So, go visit this beautiful waterfall. But never forget the beautiful surroundings.

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-Nuwara Eliya. 

Thank you.

From Lipton Seat, let's take a look at the beauty of 5 provinces in Sri Lanka

Lipton Seat is another tourist attraction located in the Badulla district. The specialty of this is that you can visit all 5 provinces of Sri Lanka simultaneously. This is indeed a mountain top. Lipton Seat is a narrow ridge that joins three mountain valleys.

There are two routes if you want to go to Lipton Seat. The first and most popular route is the road to Haputale and passes through the Dambetenna tea estate. You can reach this place by traveling about 12 km from Haputale. The other way to get there is through Bandarawela Poonagala Nayabedda. In fact, both roads are extremely scenic. It is often covered with mist in the morning.

This place is also important because it is a testimony to the ancient Sri Lankan tea history. Thomas Lipton is the founder of the Dambetenna Tea Estate. He is said to have started this estate in the late 19^th century. The Dambetenna Estate has 925 acres. The Dambetenna tea factory is also known as the largest tea factory in Sri Lanka. The best black tea in the world was produced in this Dambetenna estate. Today, Lipton is the name of the tea,  produced at this estate.

Lipton Seat is where Thomas Lipton rested. There is a statue of him today. He even had parties with his friends at this time. It is also said that he spent time with young girls.

This spot is visible in the Southern province of Devinuwara and Kirinda Lighthouses as well as in the Lighthouse in Trincomalee. Also seen in the Sabaragamuwa Province are the Samanala Mountains and Eheliyagoda, the Eastern and the Nuwara Eliya regions of the Central Province. But remember that there is nothing to see here on rainy foggy days. Also, staying here on rainy days is dangerous because of lightning. However, if you can get there at 12 noon on sunny days, you can see a spectacular view from here.

There is also a place called Catherine Seat, just a few kilometers away from this place. It is also known as the place where Lipton's wife rested. If you're going to Lipton Seat don't forget to visit Catherine Seat as well.
