Dunsinane fallsThe stunning Dunsinane falls, which is also called Pundalu Oya falls is in Pundalu Oya village, Nuwara... Eliya district of Sri Lanka. Being the 15th highest waterfall in Sri Lanka, with a height of 100 m, the fall cascades in the form of sequential steps to join Pundalu Oya river, which is a tributary of the Kotmale Oya.About the destinationDunsinane falls lies between two tea estates. One is called Dunsinane estate and the other one is called Sheen estate. As a result, this waterfall was known as Dunsinane-sheen falls (or Dunsinanshin falls). After a certain time, this waterfall was named ‘Dunsinane Falls.’ The upper part of the fall is 30 meters and it flows through a wide rocky plain. There is a small Hindu Kovil at the left side of the upper falls and a statue has been built at the middle of the rocky plain, which adds a unique beauty to the waterfall. This is the part you can view from the bridge. The 70m lower part cascades down the bridge and there is no proper path to reach the base of the lower segment. If you walk along the road a little further, you can photograph both these parts in a beautiful frame.You can reach the waterfall within one and half hour journey from Nawalapitiya or it’s just a one-hour ride from Nuwara Eliya town.Reaching the destinationFrom ColomboTake Colombo – Kandy road and travel up to Mawanella. Take B279 via Hemmathagama and Ambuluwawa and reach Gampola. From there, take A5 (PBC Highway) and at Thawalanthenna junction, take a right and travel along Tawalanthenna – Thalawakele road (B412).

A great place with a calm environment surrounded by the green. You can splash in the water and have a bath at the... bottom of the water fall. It reminded me of a mini St. Claire fall.There's a small shop near the path that leads to the waterfall. The shopkeeper is a very friendly person from the village itself. You can get a simple yet amazing meal like a rotti with chillie paste and a plain tea served.Believe me, it would be the best meal to warm up yourself after a dip in the cool water. Pay a visit if you ever find the time and don't forget to keep the surroundings clean. I saw some lunch packets dumped beside the path, so let us protect what mother nature has blessed us with.read more

This is a complex to get varied needs under one roof such an printing, mobile accessories, tech goods, sports equipment... and educational institutions. The lift here rarely works so you got to use the stairs often and u will get no parking here unless u are an employee thereread more

It's a wide waterfall comparing to other. Easy reach with any vehicle. But if you need to go closer you need have to... get a vehicle with ground clearance. However there maybe 100-200m distance to the fall from dedugala-bulathkohupitiya road.YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL TO GO NEAR OR BATH DURING RAINY SEASON because it can flash flood there.read more

One of the must visit place for every hiker. There are several routes to the top of the mountain range. Better to take... a guide if you don’t know the environment. You can contact UOP university explorers club if you need some guidance. There are hornets in some places so beware. Wildcats are there if you are camping. By the way please save the environment wherever you go.read more

Must visit place in Srilanka 🇱🇰 when you going to sigiriya , Dambulla areas..• Hike is not very... difficulty , only the last 300m are challenging.• You have to go through the temple to climb , so wear a proper dress.• No water in top of the rock , so you need to take a water bottle with you.• Iconic & Historical place.• Great view of sigiriya from top of the rock & its worth the climb.• Highly recommending for everyone.read more
