Top highest Waterfalls in Sri Lanka

 

Sri Lanka’s waterfalls are often tucked into lush, misty hills carpeted with tea plantations, forests, and wildflowers. The sound of cascading water in the middle of these green sanctuaries creates a sense of pure tranquility.  Many waterfalls are picture-perfect, not just for their dramatic drops but for the interplay of light, mist, and color around them. Sunrise and sunset often add a golden or bluish hue, making them ideal for photographers, painters, and dreamers alike.  Many waterfalls in Sri Lanka aren’t visible from roads—they require short hikes through forests, tea fields, or rocky paths. This makes visiting them feel like a mini adventure, rewarding you with solitude and awe when you finally reach them.
