Ravana Falls

One of Sri Lanka's widest falls

The waterfall's broad, multi-tiered cascade is especially impressive during and just after the wetter months.

Ramayana legend connection

Local legend ties the falls and nearby caves to the story of Ravana and Sita from the Hindu epic the Ramayana.

Plan your visit

The falls sit between Ella and Bandarawela on the main road. For the legend, see the Ramayana on Wikipedia.

Waterfall viewing and pool visit

A roadside stop to view the falls, with a shallow pool at the base sometimes used for a quick dip in drier conditions.
