Baker's Falls, Waterfall in Horton Plains National Park, Sri Lanka.

Baker's Falls is a waterfall in Sri Lanka's highlands that drops about 20 meters through thick mountain forest, creating white cascades. Multiple viewing platforms positioned along the surrounding trails let visitors see the falls from different angles.

The falls were named after Sir Samuel Baker, a British explorer and big game hunter credited with discovering them in 1845 during his expeditions in the central highlands. The Sinhala name Gonagala Ella predates this. Baker later became known for his explorations in Africa.

This waterfall forms part of the Horton Plains protected area and demonstrates the natural diversity found in Sri Lanka's central highlands. Visitors can see how the local ecosystem adapts to high elevation conditions with specialized plant species.

The falls lie about 3 km from the Horton Plains park entrance, reached on the circular trail that passes Mini World's End before continuing to World's End. Paths are muddy and root-covered, slippery after rain, and the round trip takes roughly two hours. Aim to arrive before 15:00, when mist and fading light set in and the park closes; January to April is driest.

The plunge pool below the falls is about 12 m deep and has a reputation for being dangerous; several accidents have been reported, so swimming is discouraged. The pool is fed by the Belihul Oya, a tributary of the Walawe River.
