Description
The water of the 8m-high Kataboola Ella Fall (Kadiyanlena Ella Falls) cascades down in stages. Although the flow is otherwise languid, during rain the fall is transformed into a rushing body of water, the spray reaching the nearby road.
The full Kadiyanlena Ella cascade consists of 3 levels. The Main Nawalapitiya road crosses this fall on a old arch bridge bisecting the 2nd and 3rd segments.
The first and the top most segment falls in the single stream. The generally accepted height of 8 meters of Kataboola fall is probably the height of the 1st segmemt.
From the pool below the 1st segment, the water falls to the second pool over a wide rock creating the second part. This creates a wide segment of about 6-7 meters.
Then the water flows under the arch bridge and the creates the final segment of the fall underneath the bridge. The complete waterfall with all three segment probably 25 meters in height.
Kataboola Ella Falls (aka Kataboola Estate Falls) is located in Kadiyanlena village, 10 km away from Nawalapitiya. Thus this waterfall is also called Kadiyanlena Falls.
Being on a route less traveled, the environment surrounding the waterfall is still in a unspoiled state.
The closest town is Nawalapitiya.

Excellent place surrounded with nature to relax close to the Colombo. Road from the Avissawella to Hewainna , around... 8km little bit cracked, but can travel by car easly. There are 2Km from the main road to the hotel. It's totally off road but don't worry they will provide shuttle service. If you are a nature lover this is one of the best places to stay - a lot of birds, butterflies, moths around. Clean, beautiful rooms with all the facilities. Helpful and friendly staff. Delicious food. Can recommend for nature lovers. Feeling like a Sinharaja forest.read more

St. Sylvester's began as a separate institution on 1 November 1940 (All Saints' Day) with Fr. D. Robert Perera as the... principal. The college owed its inception to the foresight of Bishop Bernardo Regno and Abbot Weerasinghe, the heads of the Sylvestro-Benedictine congregation. They felt that a Catholic school in Kandy was a prime need, once the most prestigious St. Anthony's College had been shifted to the banks of the Mahaweli at Katugastota. The school commenced with 250 pupils and twelve teachers.During the tenure of Fr. Robert Perera as principal from 1940 to 1949 and as rector from 1949 until his death in 1956, St. Sylvester's underwent a transformation from a senior secondary school to an "A" grade institution. Under the stewardship of Perera, the Pancrazi Memorial Hall, and Cingolani Memorial Hall were built and two new blocks were added as well.Fr. Robert Perera negotiated with the education department and obtained another parcel of land above the Kandy-Matale railway line, which skirts one side of St. Sylvester's. A science laboratory, workshop, and library were creations of Fr. Robert, who was, the designer and builder of St. Sylvester's. Perera was a builder in more than one sense. He believed essentially in molding Sylvestrians in a Christ-like character under the Benedictine spirituality to lead a life of harmony as citizens of this alluring isle of Ceylon.He had great faith in harmonizing the classroom with the playing field and was instrumental in providing the sports facilities that the school needed, a tennis court and a boxing ring. During his tenure, the school won the Stubbs Shield in boxing for three successive years, produced outstanding sportspeople, who won the national championship while in college, and represented the country at international events like the British Empire Games. In the academic field St. Sylvester produced many outstanding students who have shone in many professions.D. Joseph Noel Seneviratne took over the reins as the principal in 1949, envisaged by Perera, who remained as the director. After the demise of Fr. Robert in 1956, Rev. Fr. Paulinus Vadekapattany OSB succeeded as the rector. Seneviratne served the college for 24 years in the grace of God and, his faithfulness in Christ, utmost dedication and, professional integrity were captivating and, the college was able to reach unprecedented levels of achievements in the academic sector as well as in sports such as boxing.In 1961 the Primary department was established on Lady Manning's Drive, close to the school's main administrative building. In 1968, Seneviratne resigned to take over the duties as the director of a junior university, and the Vice-Principal, K. S. Gunaratne, succeeded him.The school celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2020, with a nine-a-side hockey tournament, a football competition and other events.read more
