Perumal Ella Falls

Perumal Ella is a waterfall of about ten metres on the Galmal Oya, a stream that runs down into Victoria Reservoir several kilometres below, in the hill country near the Knuckles Reserve in Kandy District.

It is little known and undeveloped as a destination. The drive in runs from Kandy through Digana and Udawela to Udispattuwa, then along a road that gets progressively rougher until it stops being passable by ordinary vehicles. From there it is on foot: across the river and up a footpath along the bank, through cleared plantation land and over boulders. Local guidance is worth arranging before setting out - published detail on the falls themselves is thin.
