Cascading down from the Kuttapitiya mountain and standing 116 meters tall, Kirindi Ella is the 7th highest waterfall in Sri Lanka.
Despite being just 5 Kms away from the Ratnapura - Balangoda highway, Kirindi Ella remains off the beaten track. Turn left towards the Kuttapitiya road, just before the Pelmadulla junction and travel 5 Kms to reach Kirindi Ella.
While most of the waterfalls in the hill country tend to cascade down a precipice, Kirindi Ella chooses to gracefully flow down an incline and is hard to take your eyes off.
You need to descend a series of steps to reach the observation platform which has a great view of the waterfall. The base pool of the waterfall is also accessible but be prepared for a grueling descent and an even more tiring ascent down many more steps.
