Kurundu Oya Falls, 189-meter waterfall in Central Province, Sri Lanka
The water cascades down multiple rock formations creating a vertical drop of 189 meters through dense vegetation in Sri Lanka's mountainous region.
Local agricultural communities have relied on the Kurundu Oya river system for their water needs since the establishment of settlements in Central Province.
The waterfall forms part of traditional ceremonies where local residents gather during specific seasonal celebrations to honor water-related customs.
Access to Kurundu Oya Falls requires a guided trek through forest paths, with the dry season from January to March offering optimal visiting conditions.
The falls create a natural shower effect as water particles disperse across different levels, generating multiple rainbow formations throughout the day.
