About Hakkunuella Waterfall

Hakkunuella Waterfall is a natural waterfall set within the lush hill country surrounding Kandy. Like many of Sri Lanka's inland cascades, it sits amid dense tropical vegetation, making the journey there as much a part of the experience as the falls themselves. Visitors typically reach it on foot along a trail that winds through forest, and the surrounding greenery provides welcome shade in the island's humid climate. The waterfall offers a quiet retreat from Kandy's busier attractions, drawing both locals and travellers seeking a more active, unhurried excursion. Those with an interest in Sri Lanka's flora and birdlife will find the walk rewarding. Kandy serves as the most practical base, with transport connections and accommodation to suit a range of budgets.
