Accessible via Ella's famous railway track, the 23-meter Kithal Ella is a hidden, multi-tiered waterfall surrounded by lush highland jungles and historically tied to the ancient Ramayana epic.

Why visit Kithal Ella Waterfall

• Unique Railway Track Access: The charming Kithal Ella Falls is most commonly and easily accessible by walking along the famous Ella railway track. It is situated between Kithal Ella (or Kithalella) station and Ella station (after Heel Oya).
• Hypothesized "Original" Ravana Falls: Some local sources and speculation consider Kithal Ella Falls the "real" or original Ravana Ella due to its proximity to Ravana Cave (linked to Ramayana legends of Sita's hiding place).
• Must-Visit Trekking Rest Stop: Cascading from a height of 23 meters, the waterfall is a favorite rest stop for hikers undertaking the strenuous trek to Ella Rock.
• Peak Monsoon Splendor: While accessible year-round, the falls showcase their full beauty and power during the monsoon season. The peak flow occurs typically from October to December.
• Scenic Contrast and Backdrop: Located amidst multiple mountain peaks and tea plantations, the white cascade of water beautifully contrasts with the surrounding lush green vegetation. This makes it an ideal spot for photography and relaxing.
