    Devon fall is one of the famous waterfalls among travelers in srilanka but mostly no one going near to this falls bcz while traveling to nuwara eliya to hatton Devon falls can seen from main road. But the way to Devon fall is very easy mostly no one knows that.

    Devon Falls is a picturesque waterfall situated close to Dimbula in Hatton. Travelers generally do not fail to stop by the St. Clair's Tea Centre to have a glimpse at this waterfall. If you travel on the Nawalapitiya road from Pathana junction, then you can find the water stream which creates this waterfall. Some travelers even reach the tip of Devon Waterfall by walking along this stream.

    At a distant view point we saw the falls rippling down the mountains. I think the St. Clair view point was a better fit than this. Didn’t spend up much time here. You get awesome and dirt cheap Avocados from local vendors here. We got 9 pieces for 500 LKR (In India its more than triple). Do buy them and show support to the local small scale vendors earning their bread and butter through it.

    Devon Falls is yet another gem in the stunning landscape of Nuwara Eliya, and it left me in awe of Mother Nature's beauty. This waterfall has several viewpoints to admire its splendor, and my favorite is undoubtedly viewpoint 2, which is easily accessible and offers a mesmerizing perspective. Early Morning Tranquility: I recommend visiting Devon Falls early in the morning to fully appreciate its beauty and avoid the crowds. The serene atmosphere as the sun rises is simply magical, making it the perfect time for photos and quiet contemplation. Popular Tourist Destination: As a popular tourist destination, it's crucial to visit during the season to ensure you witness the waterfall at its most majestic. During my visit, the cascading water was a sight to behold, and the lush green surroundings added to the enchantment. Nature's Grandeur: Devon Falls is a testament to the grandeur of nature. The sheer height and power of the waterfall are awe-inspiring. Be prepared to be mesmerized by the thundering sound of water crashing into the pool below. Easy Access: Viewpoint 2 on the map is conveniently located, and the short walk from the parking area is well worth it. It's a place where you can reconnect with nature and enjoy a moment of tranquility. Devon Falls is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Nuwara Eliya. It's a reminder of the breathtaking beauty that Sri Lanka has to offer, and it's a place that allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Make sure to time your visit right to witness this natural wonder at its best.

    Waterfall can be seen from Devon Waterfalls viewing platform from very far distance surrounded with greens. It is too far to appreciate the beauty of the waterfall, hence it was a little underwhelming for us. Nevertheless, the surrounding views is quite beautiful and peaceful, which worth for a short stopover.

    We went to the top of this beautiful waterfall ,The environment looks beautiful there . We spent a few hours there. You don't have to work hard to get to the top of this waterfall. A little bit inside from the main road. You can reach the top of the falls after stopping the car and walking about 500 meters. There are two more viewpoints around to see this beauty

    You'll be able to see this beautiful waterfall on your way to NuwaraEliya via Kotagala road. It can be seen in distant when you reach to the viewpoints.There are two view points,one is near to the Mlesna tea castle and the other is located when you move pass the Mlesna tea castle.The view point which is near Mlesna tea castle is full of bothersome monkeys.They have been trained by irresponsible people by giving them food when they stop there.Now those monkeys are used to grab food from anybody who stops there.

    A definite stop-over along the Colombo-Nuwara Eliya road (through Avissawella and Hatton). Enjoy the fresh air and the view. Parking available. If interested, you can enjoy some tea at the St. Clairs Tea Centre just opposite the view point.

    Another beautiful waterfall in Nuwara Eliya. There are many view points that admire this beautiful waterfall. I'd prefer the waterfall viewpoint 2 which is in the map (which you'll can check). Try to visit it early in the morning so it won't be much crowded. This is a popular tourist destination too. Try to visit this during the season so it won't be dried

    When I was with my family on the way between Nuwara Eliya to Colombo, I stopped to see the Divon Waterfall, I saw three monkeys, so I tried to feed them, then they followed about 30 monkeys, I finish all the bread on them, but these minutes were the amazing time to me.

    Devon is a beautiful waterfall that we can see on the way to Nuwaraeliya from Hatoon. I visited this on 2010 for the first time during my first solo ride to the hill country. Attached photos are taken in 2014 during our journey to horton plains.

    Devon falls is located between Hatton and Thalawakelle. There are view points on the Colombo-Hatton-Nuwara Eliya A7 main road before saint Clair water fall. You can reach the water fall from trail which starts from Nawalapitiya Hatton main road. Devon water fall is created by a tributary of Kothmale oya which later flows into great Mahaweli river

    Great view πŸ‘Œ from the edge. Safe to go in a sunny day. You'll love it for sure. During Rainy Days it's not advisable to go there as there were some fatalities due to sudden increase in water level and speed.

    Most people watch this fall from the view point located beside the main road. But when you go from view point straight to hatton main road , about 1km you'll see a entrance for a kovil ( fane) right side. Go down by its stairs .At the end of stairs you can see the devon fall perfectly 😎
