Waterfalls
Having the highest waterfall density in the world with a recorded 382 waterfalls spread throughout the country, Sri Lanka is the place to be to see all kinds of waterfalls.Fed by two half-yearly monsoons, rivers rush down the rocky precipices and form spectacular waterfalls. Only some of these picturesque waterfalls can be viewed with ease as the others are located inside thick forests and around tea plantations.
Bambarakanda-Wasserfälle
Der Bambarakanda-Wasserfall ist mit einer Fallhöhe von 263 Metern der höchste Wasserfall Sri Lankas. Weltweit belegt er Platz 299 der höchsten Wasserfälle der Welt. Der Wasserfall liegt im Distrikt Badulla im zentralen Hochland des Landes und ist eine beliebte Touristenattraktion und ein Naturwunder Sri Lankas.
Bambarakanda ist ein beliebter Ort zum Fotografieren. Besucher können atemberaubende Fotos vom Wasserfall und der umliegenden Landschaft schießen. Die beste Zeit für einen Besuch des Wasserfalls ist während der Monsunzeit von Mai bis September, wenn der Wasserfluss am höchsten ist und die umliegende Landschaft am grünsten ist.
Dies ist kein breiter Wasserfall, sondern er fällt in einer dünnen Linie von einem Felsvorsprung herab. Der Wasserfall wird vom Berg Uduweriya Haputale und Kuda Oya, einem Nebenfluss des Walawe-Flusses, gebildet.
Um zum Wasserfall zu gelangen, müssen Sie die Route Balangoda – Badulla (A4) nach Kalupahana nehmen. Diese kleine Stadt liegt zwischen Belihul Oya und Beragala. Die Abzweigung zu den Wasserfällen ist mit einem kleinen Schild gekennzeichnet. Folgen Sie dieser kurvenreichen Straße etwa 3,5 km, bis Sie zu einer Stelle kommen, an der Sie den Wasserfall direkt zu Ihrer Linken sehen (siehe Karte unten). Die Straße ist sehr schmal, ausgewaschen und voller Schlaglöcher. Ein Allradfahrzeug wird empfohlen, obwohl ein Van mit hoher Bodenfreiheit auch dorthin gelangen könnte. Der Fuß des Wasserfalls liegt einige hundert Meter von der Straße entfernt und es gibt keinen klaren Weg, der dorthin führt.
