RATHNA FALLS
Sri Lanka is blessed with all the essential ingredients to form a variety of picturesque waterfalls. Numerous rivers and streams amounting to more than 100, precipitous mountain ranges and platens, rains from two monsoons, convectional and cyclonic rains get together to form the most attractive falls .
The 101m fall is the highest in the Kandy region and the stream that serves it irrigates the paddy fields of the surrounding villages.Superstitious villagers say that there were seven vessels filled with precious stones hidden close to the fall, but that five have now been found. However, anyone attempting to find the final two will meet an untimely death at the bottom of the fall

HOW TO VISIT:-
The route to the fall winds through villages between the Hunasgiriya mountain range and dense jungle. From Hasalaka, travel on the Kandy - Mahiyangana highway towards Wasgamuwa National Park to the Eke Ela Agri-Colony. From here, turn left onto a side road and continue until the footpath which leads to the fall after 4km.
