Bomburu Ella

Bomburu Ella is a waterfall in dense forest that drops about 30 meters through multiple flowing streams. The cascade spreads across rock formations, creating a wide water curtain as it descends.

This waterfall has long served as a water source for farming in the Uva-Paranagama region. Over time, diversion systems were built to direct water for multiple purposes in the area.

Local communities in the Uva-Paranagama area maintain traditional practices of water resource management linked to the waterfall's natural cycles.

The waterfall is reachable via the road from Peradeniya toward Badulla, heading toward Rendapola. Access is best from Nuwara Eliya, with paths passing through rural areas.

The waterfall forms from several rivulets merging into one broad cascade, making it the widest waterfall formation in Sri Lanka.
