Doovili Ella Falls, Waterfall in Thanjantenna village, Ratnapura District, Sri Lanka
The 40-meter high Doovili Ella Falls creates a natural cascade over rock formations, leading to a wide basin suitable for recreational activities.
Local communities have relied on the waterfall's resources for generations, integrating its presence into their daily lives and traditional practices.
The name derives from the Sinhalese word for dust, referencing the fine mist produced when water hits the rocks at the bottom.
The waterfall reaches its maximum flow between April and December during the rainy season, with designated parking areas and a children's park nearby.
The falls connect to the Walawe River system, forming a natural swimming area at its base while the upper section remains off-limits.
