DIYALUMA WATERFALL

DIYALUMA WATERFALL




Diyaluma is the 2nd highest waterfall of SriLanka with a height of 559 foot. Fed by the Poonagala Oya.

The fall has a folklore attached to it. According to a legend Gods, seeing the heartbreak of a prince whose runaway romance ended in the death of his sweetheart whom he had tried to haul over the Diyaluma precipice, created this beautiful cascade to weep forever in the wilderness.


Rainfall occurs in large volume in SriLanka and the pour of this waterfall is very heavy during the rainy season. Its geographical location across the Highways that traverses the Hill Country to the Plains is a sight worth watching.



HOW TO VISIT :-

Diyaluma Waterfall is approximately around 13 Km away from the Wellawaya town and 6 km from Koslanda on the Wellawaya road
