This magnificent waterfall is situated close to Rattota town in Matale District. Take Matale – Ilukumbura road to the Bamarakiri Falls bend, which is 1km past Rattota town, where the fall is to be found. The Bambarakiri Falls is 18km from Matale town. The Bambarakiri Falls is located approximately 40km away from our Amaya Hunas Falls, one of the most popular honeymoon hotels in Sri Lanka.

The fall is set amidst the mesmerizing greenery of the Knuckles mountain range. Bambarakiri Ella is a fall of 10m. The fall can be viewed in three parts. Different varieties of butterflies and birds come to the area of the falls mostly in clear mornings making the view even more charming.

A very old-fashioned suspension bridge extends over the falls adding an enchanting touch to the already beautiful scene.

Gallons of water come crashing down to earth at a high speed. The rock pool at the base of the waterfall is safe for a dip during the dry summer, but can be very dangerous during heavy rainy season.

For those who yearn for more adventure, there is a steep slippery climb of 5km, to reach the top of the waterfall. But one should bear in mind that a slight mistake will result in grave injury.

Although the climb is not easy and should be done with care, the views of the landscape from the top are breathtaking. In addition, there is a wonderful bonus for those that make the effort of the climb – a cool and crystal clear natural rock pool perfect for bathing.

This tranquil and peaceful place is indeed a hidden gem in Matale. Visitors who come to the areas in Matale for holidays are strongly recommended to visit this beautiful place.

À propos de la Province Centrale

La Province Centrale du Sri Lanka est principalement montagneuse. Elle s'étend sur 5 674 km² et compte 2 421 148 habitants. Parmi ses principales villes figurent Kandy, Gampola (24 730 habitants), Nuwara Eliya et Bandarawela. Sa population est un mélange de Cinghalais, de Tamouls et de Maures.

Kandy, la capitale perchée sur les montagnes, et Nuwara Eliya, ainsi que Sri Pada, sont toutes deux situées dans la Province Centrale. Cette province produit une grande partie du célèbre thé de Ceylan, cultivé par les Britanniques dans les années 1860 après qu'une maladie dévastatrice ait ravagé toutes les plantations de café de la région. La Province Centrale attire de nombreux touristes, notamment grâce à ses stations de montagne comme Kandy, Gampola, Hatton et Nuwara Eliya. Le temple de la Dent (Dalada Maligawa) est le principal lieu sacré de la province.

Le climat y est frais, et les nuits sont souvent fraîches dans les zones situées à environ 1 500 mètres d'altitude. Les versants ouest sont très humides, avec des précipitations annuelles atteignant parfois près de 7 000 mm. Les versants est, quant à eux, font partie de la zone semi-aride, ne recevant que les pluies de la mousson du nord-est. Les températures varient de 24 °C à Kandy à seulement 16 °C à Nuwara Eliya, située à 1 889 m d'altitude. Les plus hauts sommets du Sri Lanka se trouvent dans la province centrale. Le relief y est majoritairement montagneux, traversé de profondes vallées. Les deux principaux massifs montagneux sont le massif central et la chaîne des Knuckles, à l'est de Kandy.
