About Aradunu Falls

Aradunu Falls is a waterfall set within the lush hill-country terrain near Ella, a small town well known as a base for exploring Sri Lanka's central highlands. Visitors typically reach the falls on foot, following paths that wind through tea estates and dense forest, with the journey often proving as rewarding as the destination itself. The surrounding vegetation is characteristic of Sri Lanka's wet hill zone, where mist, moss-covered rocks and the persistent sound of rushing water create a cool, atmospheric environment. As with many waterfalls in this region, the flow varies considerably with the seasons, appearing at its most impressive during and shortly after the monsoon. The falls offer a quieter alternative to the more frequently visited sights around Ella.
