Sera Ella Falls, Waterfall in Matale District, Sri Lanka

The waterfall consists of two cascading sections, each measuring 10 meters in height, formed by the joining of Kitul Canal and Hunumadala River.

Local inhabitants named the falls after the Sera fish species that populated the waters during ancient times in this region of Sri Lanka.

The falls hold significance in local traditions, with some residents connecting its name to the graceful movement of lemongrass leaves in the wind.

Visitors need to walk about 200 meters down from the entrance platform to reach the falls, which flow at maximum capacity between November and March.

A natural cave sits behind the waterfall, accessible through steps carved into the rock formation, allowing visitors to experience the falls from behind.
