Hunnas Falls, Waterfall in Matale District, Sri Lanka

Hunnas Falls is a waterfall in Matale District that drops about 48 meters and spans around 12 meters wide. The water originates from the Hunnasgiriya mountain at roughly 1,765 meters elevation and flows through an area with landscaped gardens and agricultural terraces.

Hunnas Falls is a man-made waterfall in the landscaped garden of the Hunas Falls Hotel near Elkaduwa, Matale District. It is fed by a stream from the nearby Hunnasgiriya mountain peak and drops 48 metres, with the site lying at about 1,765 metres above sea level. In the rainy season several smaller streams appear beside the main fall.

The waterfall takes its name from Hunnasgiriya, the mountain peak whose stream feeds it; the Sinhala name is Hunasgiri Ella. The fall stands inside the landscaped garden of the Hunas Falls Hotel near Elkaduwa, so visitors see it as part of the hotel grounds rather than open countryside.

Hunnas Falls lies near Elkaduwa in Matale District, about 22 km from Kandy. Two roads serve the site: Matale to Elkaduwa, or Wattegama (Kandy) to Elkaduwa. The fall stands inside the landscaped garden of the Hunas Falls Hotel, so access passes through the hotel grounds.

The fall is not natural: it was created as a feature of the landscaped garden of the Hunas Falls Hotel, fed by a stream from the Hunnasgiriya mountain peak. In the rainy season several smaller streams appear alongside the main drop.
