Ravana Falls,Sri Lanka

• Ravana Falls itself — a broad, curtain-like cascade visible from the road and from several vantage points
• Ravana Ella Cave (Ravana Cave) — a short walk from the falls with historical/legendary ties
• Natural pools at the base of the falls (seasonal) — for short dips where safe
• Scenic viewpoints and photo stops along the Ella–Demodara road
• Nearby attractions: Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam's Peak, Ella Rock (short drives/treks away)

• A wide, multi-tiered curtain of water that fans out over the rock face
• Easily viewable from the main road with multiple informal viewing platforms
• Lush green surroundings typical of Sri Lanka's hill country
• Seasonal variations — flow increases dramatically after rains, giving very different appearances across the year

• Photography and sightseeing — many panoramic photo opportunities
• Short walks to viewpoints and to the base of the falls
• Swimming/wading in shallow pools (exercise caution; currents and rocks may be hazardous)
• Combine visit with local hikes (Little Adam's Peak, Ella Rock) and the Nine Arch Bridge
• Visiting and exploring Ravana Cave and learning local folklore

Drier months (December–April) are generally best for clear views and safer trail conditions; however, visiting just after light rains can make the falls more dramatic. Note that heavy monsoon rains increase water volume and can make areas around the base dangerous.

Hill-country climate: cooler than the lowlands, with temperatures often ranging from about 15°C–25°C (59°F–77°F). Frequent light showers can occur year-round; mornings and evenings are cooler.

Located about 6–8 km from Ella town (short taxi/tuk‑tuk ride or local bus). Nearest railway access is Ella Railway Station; the falls sit beside the main road and are easily reached by vehicle with short walking paths to viewpoints. Terrain near the base can be rocky and slippery — not suitable for wheelchairs or those with limited mobility without assistance.

A typical stop is 30 minutes to 1.5 hours if only visiting the falls; combine with half‑day or full‑day plans to include nearby sights such as Ravana Cave, Nine Arch Bridge, or a short hike.

Comfortable walking shoes with good grip, light rain jacket, hat and sunscreen, insect repellent, and swimwear/towel if you plan to wade (only where safe). Carry drinking water and a small first-aid kit.

Try local hill-country specialties and street food in Ella (e.g., hoppers, kottu, and fresh local fruits). Souvenirs include Ceylon tea, hand‑woven textiles, spices, and small handicrafts from local markets and shops in Ella.
