A tale of star crossed lovers
Lover's Leap Falls的点评
点评：Lovers leap is a waterfall situated a couple of kms away from the Nuwara Eliya town.... it's not the most breathtaking and during dry seasons it would hardly have any water but it does have its own charm and it's own (rather sorrowful) tale...
Backstory - According folklore a prince who lived in the area during ancient times fell in love with a village girl and when his parents opposed match, the ill fated lovers chose to jump to their death from the top of this waterfall on a full moon day rather than be seperated. Hence the name.... "Lover's leap".......
How to get there - There were so many conflicting reviews on how to get there and the level of difficulty in getting there.... This was our experience..
After reading many reviews we took the longer route (second option) shown on Google maps and that was to get to the Pedro tea factory. Just as you see the factory (coming from NE side) there is a left turn (carpeted road) to the estate managers bungalow ,as indicated on the turnoff. After about 200 meters down this road you get two left turns (at the same point).
Our tuk driver took the upper left turn which was in terrible conditon with large pot holes. There are more turnoffs down this road but you always take the turnoff going up.... after about 10-15 mts you will get to a large tree from where the path turns into a footpath... from there it's only about 250 meters to the waterfall. Halfway through path you come to a gate and fence seeming fencing off a makeshift kovil. You take the right turn next to the gate and after about 50 meters the road again forks into two from which you take the lower route to the left. ( I read on reviews that the locals will offer to take you to the top of the waterfall. So I assume the right turn off would lead to the top of the waterfall. But there were no locals in sight on the day we visited, so we didn't explore any further.)
The walking part was pretty easy. It wasn't flat land but nothing particularly strenuous. We also noticed that there was a concrete paved road down below coming almost upto the waterfall. This may have been the lower road in the first turnoff, but then again non of the tuk drivers coming to falls seemed to take this route.
There was enough water flow to make it worthwhile when we visited, but it may not warrant a visit during dry season.

翻译：情人崖是一座瀑布，距离努沃勒埃利耶镇几公里远......它并不是最令人叹为观止的瀑布，在旱季几乎没有水，但它确实有自己的魅力和它自己的（相当悲伤的）故事......
背景故事 - 根据民间传说，古代住在该地区的一位王子爱上了一位村姑，当他的父母反对他们结婚时，这对不幸的恋人选择在满月之日从瀑布顶部跳下而死，而不是分开。因此得名......“情人崖”......
如何到达 - 关于如何到达那里以及到达那里的难度，有很多相互矛盾的评论......这是我们的经历。
在阅读了许多评论后，我们选择了谷歌地图上显示的较长路线（第二种选择），即前往佩德罗茶厂。看到工厂后（从东北侧过来），有一个左转（铺有地毯的道路）通往庄园经理的平房，如岔路所示。沿着这条路走大约 200 米后，您会有两个左转（在同一点）。
我们的嘟嘟车司机在左上方转弯，路况非常糟糕，有很多大坑洞。这条路上还有更多的岔路，但您总是走上坡路……大约 10-15 米后，您会到达一棵大树，从那里小路变成了人行道……从那里到瀑布只有大约 250 米。走到半路，您会看到一扇大门和围栏，似乎用栅栏围住了一个临时的小屋。您在大门旁边右转，大约 50 米后，道路再次分成两条，从那里您可以向左走下路。 （我在评论中看到当地人会主动带你到瀑布顶部。所以我猜想右转会通向瀑布顶部。但我们参观的那天没有看到当地人，所以我们没有进一步探索。）
步行部分相当容易。虽然不是平地，但也不是什么特别费力的事情。我们还注意到下面有一条混凝土铺成的道路，几乎通向瀑布。这可能是第一个岔路的下路，但话又说回来，没有一个嘟嘟车司机会走这条路来瀑布。
我们参观时水流充足，值得一去，但在旱季可能不值得一去。
