Ravana Water Fall - Let this beauty flow in to you-Island Life Sri Lanka

-

 Ravana Falls is a stunning waterfall situated in the hill town of Ella, Sri Lanka. 
At a distance of 7 km from Ella Railway Station, It is one of the popular waterfalls in Sri Lanka and among the must VISIT places in Ella Tour Packages. The picturesque cascade known as Ravana Ella, are among the most photographed waterfalls in Sri Lanka, as they are located near the main road connecting the central highlands with the southern plains: Many travelers are leaving the hill country along this route.



Ravana Falls is about 82 feet in height and cascades from an oval-shaped concave rock outcrop. A part of the Ravana Ella Wildlife Sanctuary, the falls is bounded by a thick blanket of forests and is considered as one of the widest waterfalls in Sri Lanka. The waterfall can get extremely powerful during the rainy season and said to resemble an areca flower with withering petals but its size is reduced dramatically during the dry season. The fall is quite impressive, and one can climb over some of the rocks to get a closer look. Visitors can get close and spend some time swimming, but be safe as the rocks are slippery..

The falls have been named after the legendary character Ravana, which is connected to the famous Indian epic, the Ramayana. According to legend, it is said that Ravana (who was the king of Sri Lanka at the time) had kidnapped princess Sita, and had hidden her in the caves behind this waterfall, now simply known as the Ravana Ella Cave. At the time, the cave was surrounded by thick forests in the midst of the wilderness. It is also believed that Sita bathed in a pool that accumulated the water falling from this waterfall.
It's located about half an hour away from Ella's main road and is a popular stop for tourists and local Sri Lankans alike. The path to the waterfall is rocky, which makes for a good trekking session. One can also find tent accommodation being set up along with snacks as well as souvenirs near the waterfall site. While the views are breathtaking indeed, it is a perfect spot to enjoy some quality time with friends and family.



 

we managed to get closer to the waterfall and feeling the water as it cascades down under you is a historic feeling if you travel back to the Ravana Era and live in the moment..

Best time to visit Ravana Falls Sri Lanka

If you want to beat the crowds, the best time to go to the Ravana Falls is during the early morning. Because the waterfall is located right next to the road, you can expect lots of people stopping to take a picture. In terms of the best season to go, the wet season will result in a more powerful and impressive waterfall. Although, it is always worth to visit a waterfall which you don’t even have to hike to !

With the height of 25 meter and tucked away in the beautiful valley of Ella, this picturesque waterfall is absolutely worth a visit. Although you can’t do that much at the waterfall itself, it’s a nice stop on your way to the Diyaluma Falls for example. There are some local shacks at the parking lot, and you can make some nice pictures from the platform with the waterfall behind you. Another thing to do in the near area is exploring the Ravana Cave.

Touring to Ella might be incomplete if you miss out on experiencing the wonder of Ravana Falls.
