Cascading elegantly down 25 misty stone steps through the lush Glassaugh Tea Estate, Nanu Oya Waterfall is a 60-meter hidden gem uniquely framed by a historic railway bridge.

Why visit Nanu Oya Water Falls

• Scenic Cascading Steps: This beautiful waterfall descends 60 meters through a sequence of 25 distinct steps, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle as the water cascades through mist.
• Water Source from Nanu Oya: Its water originates from the Nanu Oya river, flowing through the Udaradella and Bambarakelle areas before reaching the fall, and eventually joining the Kotmale and Mahaweli rivers.
• Visible from Main Road with Access Challenges: While prominently visible from the main road, reaching the waterfall requires navigating a less-mapped by-road near the railway station for about 1.5 km.
• Located within a Tea Estate: The waterfall is uniquely situated within the Glassaugh Estate, adding to its picturesque surroundings and charm.
• Intertwined with an Imposing Bridge: An imposing bridge spans the fall, adding a hint of grandeur and an interesting architectural element to the natural scene.
