This
amazing 30m fall is incipient of the streams and brooks of Sri Lanka's highest
mountain, the Piduruthalagala (2524m). It flows over hard granite ledges and
the water is collected in a tank and used for drinking. In dry spells, the flow
is languid the fall is said to derive its name from the heartbreaking tale of a
prince, who while hunting in the jungle, lost his way. He was rescued by a
beautiful damsel, and the two became inseparable lovers. But the match was not
to the liking of the prince's subjects, so the two decided to celebrate their
love by leaping from the top of the fall to their death.
Superstitious
villagers avoid the fall at night. The fall is situated in Hava Eliya, 1.5 K.M from Nuwara Eliya, Nuwara Eliya District.
