The waterfall lies around 30 minutes away from the galboda railway station. But the scenic beauty will keep you accompanied so would probably take more time to go. There are two visiting spots next to the waterfall. But the view from the hanging bridge is the most wonderful.. it is a sight to behold.also do not forget to bring an umbrella if you are visiting during the rainy season and also be aware of leeches..there is plenty of them 😅. If you are going to take the train back to Kandy or to Badulla , make sure you check the time schedule for train well and manage accordingly,also do not forget to show some love to the kids selling fruits enroute the waterfall..

Incredibly beautiful place to visit in Sri Lanka. It's a very good location for one day trip. Hike is not difficult. Only take around 45 minutes from Galboda Railway station to waterfall.

A place that's definitely worth the trip! There were spectacular views all over the journey starting from the point where we stepped down from the train until we reached the waterfall. There's close access to the waterfall and it's safe to bath in the premises. You can bring lunch and find a spot to eat there as well.

Nevertheless, some people are so disgraceful 😪 They put their trash everywhere 😒 If u visit one of these grateful places, protect it, and don't even think to destroy it. Enjoy within your limits 😉 Route, is u need to go to galboda Station after that follows the railway 🛤 200m or 150m then there is a board named in Galboda waterfall. That's the direction you need to go. Nearly 2 km should walk. Finally, u can see the gift from our mother nature...... Enjoy 😉 but don't destroy it ....

A calm place bit far from the city. Can arrive to the water fall around 20-30 minutes walk from the nearest point that can arrive by a vehicle or by the train at galboda railway station.

The Galboda Ella Fall (aka Galaboda Ella Falls) originates from the Galboda Canal (also known as the Hanguranketha River), in the Central Province wet zone. Annual rainfall here exceeds 4500mm, 60% of the rain coming from the south-west monsoon (dry season is January to February). Watawala, the area of Sri Lanka that receives the highest amount of rainfall on the island, is nearby. Galboda Falls is 30m high but the width ranges from between 3m and 6m, depending on the season. At certain times of year, the water also cascades in two streams. Growing in the surrounding woodland is a rare species of orchid and the vicinity is home to a wide variety of wildlife. Among them are 12 species of reptile and four are only found in Sri Lanka. The upper section of the fall is unique in its biodiversity, thus it is of paramount importance to limit any potential danger to the area. In 1869, following the construction of the Nawalapitiya – Hatton railway, agriculture (tea and coffee plantations) proliferated, causing erosion. Fortunately, the jungle either side of the river has prevented the soil being washed away by the water. The name of the fall, (Galboda means ‘fall adjoining the stone’) is said to derive from the large boulder situated at its foot, though another theory is that the water here is heavier than anywhere else on the island. A temple to the deity Mahasamy, one of seven deities collectively known as Devol who came to the hill country, stands on the mountain above the fall. Mahasamy is the only one of the seven who remained in the hill country. The fall is located on Hatton rail track in an abandoned but picturesque tea estate adjacent to Galboda station, Nawalapitiya, Nuwara Eliya District (920m above sea level). Taking the train is therefore very convenient. It is also possible to take the Nawalapitiya – Dekinda road but this is a difficult route. Hatton is the closest town.

It's a very beautiful place to visit and enjoy

Marvellous waterfall. Nearest waterfall from kandy by train. 40 min walk from railway station to the falls.

Don't follow the google map suggestions. It shows route through Rosella railway station. It's a Narrow road and cannot be reached a even motorcycle. End of the road we could see just a power station only. But surrounding road is amazing Fantastic view on besides the way. If you are hoping to visit galboda waterfall, best way is through Galboda railway station. Walk on the railway path 2km. (For more info check YouTube videos)
