Trek to Sri Lanka’s Tallest Waterfall, Bambarakanda, and Explore Hidden Waterfalls

Join CCT Sri Lanka on an unforgettable journey to Bambarakanda Waterfall, Sri Lanka’s tallest waterfall. Located at the foot of Horton Plains along Kalupahan Ohiya Road, this 500-meter trek takes you through lush greenery and mist to the breathtaking cascade.

After marveling at Bambarakanda, continue your journey to Lanka Ella, a smaller yet equally stunning waterfall, reachable via a 500-meter uphill trek. The trail rewards you with panoramic views and the soothing sound of the falls.

Next, discover the hidden Yahalathenna Waterfall, located off the beaten path. A 1 km trek through both uphill and downhill terrain brings you to this secluded gem, where you’ll clear your way through dense vegetation. The experience offers a peaceful retreat in an unspoiled natural setting.

The final part of the trek is both challenging and rewarding. With the expertise of CCT Sri Lanka’s local trekkers, you’ll navigate rapidly changing weather conditions, including sudden rain, wind, and mist. Leeches are also common, making a local guide essential for safety and comfort.

This trek is ideal for those seeking an authentic Sri Lankan adventure. From Bambarakanda’s towering heights to Yahalathenna’s tranquil beauty, this journey immerses you in nature’s wonders and creates unforgettable memories.
