Ravana Falls
- Ravana Falls is one of the most famous waterfalls in Sri Lanka, located near the mountain town of Ella.
- The waterfall is surrounded by lush green hills, tropical vegetation, and dramatic rocky landscapes.
- It is named after King Ravana, the legendary king mentioned in the ancient Indian epic Ramayana.
- According to local legend, Ravana used a cave behind the waterfall to hide Sita, the wife of Prince Rama.
- The nearby Ravana Cave is therefore connected with many stories and legends about Ravana and Sita.
- During the rainy season, the waterfall becomes much more powerful and spectacular as large amounts of water rush over the rocks.
- The rocks around the falls can be very slippery, so visitors should be especially careful near the flowing water.
- Ravana Falls is a popular stop for travellers exploring the scenic road between Ella and Wellawaya.
- Beyond its natural beauty, the waterfall offers a fascinating combination of Sri Lankan nature, local legends, and the mysterious world of Ravana.
