Standing 109 meters tall amidst the scenic tea estates of the Nuwara Eliya district, Ramboda Falls is Sri Lanka's 11th highest waterfall, celebrated for its rare Y-shaped twin cascades where two mountain rivers beautifully merge into one breathtaking drop.

Why visit Ramboda falls

Waterfall generated from two sources: The main source is the Panna Oya, a tributary of the Kothmale Oya. The secondary source is a smaller stream that joins the Panna Oya just above the falls.
Easy accessibility: Ramboda Falls is also a popular tourist destination due to its easy accessibility. It is located just off the A5 highway, which is the main road connecting Kandy and Nuwara Eliya.
Multi-tiered Structure: Ramboda Falls uniquely cascades down in two main parts, the upper and lower falls, creating a visually complex and captivating tiered appearance over rocks and ledges.
Central Highlands Micro-Ecosystem: It serves as a vital micro-ecosystem within the Central Highlands, showcasing a rich biodiversity of unique ferns, orchids, native trees, and various small mammals and bird species.
Accessible Swimming Basin: Uniquely, the base of Ramboda Falls features a natural basin pool, a popular spot where visitors can safely swim and enjoy the refreshing cascade.
"Y" Shape at its Base: The waterfall is noted for taking on a distinctive "Y" shape at its base, adding a unique structural element to its natural beauty.
