Sri Lanka Waterfalls (highest) Bambarakanda


Bambarakanda waterfall is highest waterfall of Sri Lanka and which is situated at Haldumulla Electorate of Badulla district Sri Lanka. Bambarakanda waterfall is 241meters high. The water fall down with high rock and knock other rocks increase the beauty of this fall. Water comes to this fall from Horton plains and after this water goes to Samanala wawa means the valley looks like a butterfly. After via Valawe river this water goes to sea.

Travel to this place is not easy than other waterfalls of Sri Lanka because this fall is not at near the main road. If you want to travel this there are two ways. But one of them is not good and other one is good. First you come to Kalupahana which is situated on the Balangoda-Haputale road. And turn Udaweria side from Kalupahana junction and come 5 kilometers along that way and you can meet Bambarakanda waterfall. Another way is come from Horton plains or Ohiya. There is 15 km from Ohiya to Bambarakanda falls.


When you travel from Ohiya place first you meet nice tea estate called Udaweria Estate. It's very nice and then you can visit a place which you can visit nice sceneries from it. On clear days you can see long gaps and long distance of area. Some had seen sea also. Sometimes you may not believe it but that's true. You have to visit another place to visit. It called hill safari. You can go on a Safari with there. It is a lodge and there are 4 km from Ohiya to it. In evening you can see only mist.

To travel to Bambarakanda falls from Ohiya is not easy. Because that way is some what damaged. But when you go there in this way definitely you cant believe your eyes. Before travel that way first you should find four wheel vehicle. Near the Bambarakanda falls there is another fall. It's also beautiful.
