Bambarakanda Falls

If height does matter, then the Bambarakanda Falls takes pride of place in the ‘must see’ list of Sri Lanka’s waterfalls, if only for the purposes of record. Falling from a height of 795ft, it is located in Kahawatte off the main Colombo-Bandarawela road and is barely an hour’s drive from Bandarawela. No river hurtles down the rocky precipice but instead a tiny stream appears at the top and then, quarter way down the rock, breaks into two and falls without much fanfare.
