Diyaluma Falls Tourism

Type of destination: Waterfall

Ideal visit duration: 3-4 hours

Diyaluma Falls is the second-highest waterfall in Sri Lanka, located in the Badulla District near the small town of Koslanda and not too far from Ella. With a sheer drop of 220 meters (720 feet), the waterfall is a stunning sight and a popular tourist destination. The waters of the Diyaluma Falls cascade down in a series of tiers that lead to various natural pools, offering a picturesque scene set amidst the lush greenery of the Sri Lankan highlands. Visitors often engage in hiking and bathing in the natural pools, with the upper and lower falls providing distinct experiences. The upper part of the falls features smaller cascades and tranquil pools, ideal for a refreshing swim. To get to the upper falls, one must undertake a relatively challenging hike that rewards with breathtaking views and less crowded spots. The location is accessible by bus or tuk-tuk from Ella, which is renowned for its tea plantations and mountainous landscapes. Diyaluma Falls is not just a beautiful natural attraction but also a place where visitors can immerse themselves in the peaceful surroundings and enjoy the serenity of nature.
