Bambarakanda waterfall is highest waterfall of Sri Lanka and which is
situated at Haldumulla Electorate of Badulla district Sri Lanka.
Bambarakanda waterfall is 241meters high. The water fall down with high
rock and knock other rocks increase the beauty of this fall. Water comes
to this fall from
Horton plains and
after this water goes to Samanala wawa means the valley looks like a
butterfly. After via Valawe river this water goes to sea.
Travel to this place is not easy than other waterfalls
of Sri Lanka because this fall is not at near the main road. If you want
to travel this there are two ways. But one of them is not good and other
one is good. First you come to Kalupahana which is situated on the
Balangoda-Haputale road. And turn Udaweria side from Kalupahana junction
and come 5 kilometers along that way and you can meet Bambarakanda
waterfall. Another way is come from
Horton plains or
Ohiya. There is
15 km from Ohiya to Bambarakanda falls.
When you travel from Ohiya place first you meet nice tea estate called
Udaweria Estate. It's very nice and then you can visit a place which you
can visit nice sceneries from it. On clear days you can see long gaps
and long distance of area. Some had seen sea also. Sometimes you may not
believe it but that's true. You have to visit another place to visit. It
called hill safari. You can go on a Safari with there. It is a lodge and
there are 4 km from Ohiya to it. In evening you can see only mist.
To
travel to Bambarakanda falls from Ohiya is not easy. Because that way is
some what damaged. But when you go there in this way definitely you
cant believe your eyes. Before travel that way first you should find
four wheel vehicle. Near the Bambarakanda falls there is another fall.
It's also beautiful.
