Overview - Miyunu Ella Falls

Nestled in the lush Gavaragiriya village of Ayagama, Miyunu Ella Falls is a hidden gem in the Sabaragamuwa Province. This picturesque waterfall cascades in two distinct levels, forming a safe and inviting natural pool at the base that is perfect for bathing. Surrounded by dense vegetation and rubber plantations, the site offers a tranquil escape for nature lovers. Accessing the falls is an adventure in itself, often requiring a vehicle with high ground clearance or a hike due to the rugged terrain. The upper part of the falls provides a stunning vantage point, while the lower section is popular for its calming ambiance. Visitors are advised to be cautious during the rainy season as the rocks can be slippery, but on clear days, it stands as one of the most beautiful and serene spots in the region.

Hidden beauty in Ayagama. Can reach both the upper end and base pool. Have to go down a foot trail to reach both. This can be slippery on rainy days. Can safely bathe at the upper end. But not in rainy seasons.
