As professionals, we often seek inspiration in the beauty of nature and unique landscapes. One such wonder is Puna Ella Falls, also known as Ramboda Ella, a breathtaking twin waterfall along the Gampola-Nuwara Eliya route.
What makes Puna Ella Falls special:
Unique Twin Flow: Two rivers, Puna Oya and Pundalu Oya, cascade down in a stunning Y-shaped split before merging into one.
Contrasting Landscapes: One stream flows through a forest reserve, while the other through cultivated land, creating a picturesque scenery.
Photographer’s Paradise: Capture stunning photos, especially after rains or during wetter months.
Plan Your Visit:
Location: A5 road (Peradeniya – Badulla / Gampola – Nuwara Eliya highway), just past the Ramboda Tunnel.
Best Time: After rain or during wetter months for good flow, and early morning or post-rain for photos.
Why Visit Puna Ella Falls:
Breathtaking scenery with lush greenery, flowing water, tea estates, and mountains.
Great spot for photos with the rare Y-shape split.
Peaceful atmosphere, not overly crowded.
Convenient detour on the way between Colombo, Kandy, and Nuwara Eliya.
