Dunhinda Falls, Waterfall in Badulla, Sri Lanka.
The 64-meter Dunhinda Falls creates a dense mist as the Badulu Oya river drops from a high cliff into a large natural pool below.
During King Rajasinhe's rule, a giant fern blocked the waterfall causing floods in Badulla until Ranhavadidaraya removed it after three months of work.
The name originates from Sinhala language where 'Dun' means mist, referring to the water spray that forms around the base of the falls.
Visitors need to walk 1.5 kilometers on a forest path from the entrance gate to reach the secured observation platform at the waterfall.
The waterfall receives water from multiple sources including Uma Oya and Hal Oya, creating different flow patterns throughout the seasons.
