Devon Falls, Waterfall in Talawakelle, Sri Lanka.
Devon Falls drops 97 meters in three distinct tiers along the Kotmale River, creating white water cascades against green mountain slopes.
The waterfall received its name from a British coffee planter who established agricultural operations in the surrounding lands during the colonial period.
Local communities incorporate the waterfall into their traditional stories, connecting the natural feature with regional heritage and customs.
Visitors can observe the waterfall from two observation points along the A7 highway, with the lower point offering views of both Devon and St Clair Falls.
The falls maintain a constant flow at 1,140 meters above sea level, making it the nineteenth highest waterfall in Sri Lanka.
