URAN VATUNA FALLS

URAN VATUNA FALLS

Uran Vetuna Falls is a staggering 108m high. The name of the fall derives from the numerous wild boar found in the vicinity that come to drink here and often get swept away by the rushing water. The river flows onto a rocky ledge, which creates a three-tier fall. Further downstream, the river passes another fall called Kottun, before joining the Kaluganga River.

Even in severe droughts, the fall never dries up and supplies the nearby Kiribathgala State Plantations and hospital with water. A wide variety of trees and medicinal plants grow in the fall's lush surroundings.

HOW TO VISIT:-
The fall flows from the Mirishena Mukalana (Mirishena Jungle) and can be found on Pettiyagala Mountain, Ratnapura District (Openayake Divisional Secretariat, delineating Kandeketiya and Palekande Gramasevaka areas).
