BAMBARAKANDA

Bambarakanda waterfall is highest waterfall of Sri Lanka and which is situated at Haldumulla Electorate of Badulla district. The waterfall is high about 241meters. 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 far away from amin road. Kalupahana Junction (160Km from Colombo - Badulla road) is closest main road to Falls. Kalupahana is at Between Belihul Oya and Haputale. Belihul Oya also famous and beautiful place in Sri Lanka. The distance between Kalupahana snd the waterfall is about 5 kilometers. This 5 Km is wide way and Car, Van or lite vehicle can be travel. The way to Bambarakanda from Kalupahana is not finished at Waterfall. It moves till Ohiya and Horton Plains via Udaveriya tea Estate. About 18Km to Ohiya from Bambarakanda waterfalls.
