Diyaluma Falls

Closest Town:

Koslanda / Ella

Diyaluma Falls near Koslanda is Sri Lanka’s second highest waterfall, dropping 220 meters in majestic tiers. What makes it iconic are the natural rock infinity pools atop the cliff, perfect for swimming, photos and sunset views. A short hike leads to one of the most rewarding, adventurous and Instagram worthy experiences on the island. 

Best Time: May – Oct

Height: 220 m, Koslanda

6 km from Koslanda

Diyaluma Falls, located near Koslanda and easily reached from Ella, is the kind of place that lives in your memory and on your camera roll. Towering at 220 meters, it’s the second tallest waterfall in Sri Lanka, but what sets it apart is not just its height, it’s the natural infinity pools carved into its topmost tiers. 

 

A moderately easy hike (around 30 to 45 minutes) from Poonagala Road leads you to the top of the falls, where you will find a sequence of natural rock pools overlooking endless green valleys. Dip your feet or dive in, all while gazing out at a view that feels like you are on the edge of the world. The lower tier, viewed from the road near Koslanda, offers a more traditional, but no less impressive perspective. 

 

This spot is a favourite among adventurous travellers and photographers, especially during golden hour. But caution is key, edges are steep and water levels can vary based on the season. 

 

Sri Lanka Tailor-Made recommends Diyaluma Falls for active travellers, couples and content creators seeking jaw dropping beauty with a side of adrenaline. It’s not just a visit, it’s an ascent into one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic natural highs.
