Upper Bambarakanda Falls

About Upper Bambarakanda Falls

Tucked away in the misty hill country above Haputale, Upper Bambarakanda Falls draws visitors seeking the quieter reaches of one of Sri Lanka's most celebrated waterfall systems. The surrounding landscape is characterised by steep, forested slopes and the cool, damp air typical of this elevated region. Most visitors reach the falls on foot, following trails that wind through tea country and patches of native woodland. The experience rewards those willing to make the effort with relative seclusion compared to the more frequented lower falls. Haputale serves as a practical base, offering guesthouses, transport connections and local knowledge. The falls are generally most impressive during and shortly after the monsoon seasons, when water volumes are at their highest.
