𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐍𝐨 : 𝟏𝟐 - The Majestic Ravana Falls
Ravana Falls stands as one of the most iconic and breathtaking natural landmarks in the misty highlands of Ella. Cascading from a height of approximately 25 meters, the waterfall tumbles over a rugged concave rock face, creating a dramatic spray that cools the surrounding air. It is particularly spectacular during the rainy season when the water transforms into a powerful torrent resembling a drooping areca flower. Visitors are often drawn to its convenient location along the main road, making it a perfect spot to pause and soak in the lush greenery and the rhythmic sound of crashing water.
Beyond its physical beauty, the falls are steeped in ancient legend and vibrant Sri Lankan folklore. Named after the legendary King Ravana, it is believed that the king hidden Princess Sita in the caves tucked behind the rushing waters. This blend of mythical history and tropical scenery gives the site a mystical atmosphere that goes far beyond a typical nature stop. Whether you are interested in the historical tales of the Ramayana or simply looking for a stunning photograph of the island’s hill country, Ravana Falls offers an unforgettable experience.
