Kurundu Oya Ella

About Kurundu Oya Ella

Kurundu Oya Ella is a waterfall set within the cool, mist-prone hill country near Nuwara Eliya, a town known for its tea estates and colonial-era character. Like many waterfalls in this elevated region, it draws visitors seeking a gentle excursion into the surrounding landscape, where streams fed by frequent rainfall tumble down through forest and grassland. The walk to reach it typically passes through scenery characteristic of the central highlands — layered green hills, occasionally muddy paths and glimpses of birdlife. It makes a reasonable half-day outing from Nuwara Eliya town, appealing to those who prefer quiet natural spots over more heavily visited attractions. Sturdy footwear is advisable, particularly during or after rain.
