The Ravana Waterfall, located in the charming town of Ella in Sri Lanka, is one of the island’s most spectacular natural attractions. Plunging from a height of over 25 meters, this tiered waterfall is part of the Ravana Ella Wildlife Sanctuary and is named after the legendary King Ravana from the Ramayana epic. Surrounded by lush greenery and rocky terrain, it is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
According to local folklore, King Ravana, the mythical ruler of Lanka, is said to have hidden Princess Sita in a cave behind the waterfall after abducting her. This connection to the Ramayana has made the waterfall a site of both natural and cultural significance.
The cascading waters against the backdrop of dense forests and rugged cliffs make Ravana Falls a picture-perfect sight.
The waterfall is at its most dramatic during the rainy season when the water gushes powerfully, creating a misty veil over the surroundings.
Visitors often enjoy climbing the rocks near the waterfall and taking a dip in the natural pools at its base. However, caution is advised during heavy rains due to strong currents.
Located just 6 kilometers from Ella, Ravana Falls is easily accessible via the Ella-Wellawaya road. Travelers can reach it by tuk-tuk, car, or public transport. The nearby Ravana Cave and Ella Rock are additional attractions, making the area perfect for a day of exploration.
