点评:It's a beautiful waterfall off the raththota Illukkubura road offering a unique experience.
The Google directions are accurate. When we went in June 2024, a new carpet road was being laid on the turn off from Raththota road upto the waterfall. Once constructed it will be wide enough for 2 vehicles to pass easily... once you turn from Raththota road, you have to travel about 7kms. About 3 kms was already carpeted. Pebble stones had been laid on about 3 kms. Nothing had been done on the last 700 meters which had large potholes. But we did see low ground clearance vehicles in the car park.
There is a small car park and a couple of shops selling roti and plain tea. You have to buy a ticket. (LKR 75 or 150 per local, cant recall exactly). You climb down a flight of steps from the car park. Stairs are in good order and has railing. It's quite a short climb and then the route branch into two (which we didn't even notice). If you choose to climb further down, you reach the bottom of the waterfall. If you take the flat path to your right ....... you end up in a cave behind the waterfall!!!!! It's very safe, the cave ledge has a short concrete wall. There is also a short wooden ladder which you can use to climb down to the bottom of the waterfall.
The area around the waterfall was surprisingly clean. Not sure whether you can bathe or swim there.
The access road is quite deserted. And there was electric fencing along the way (may be for elephants?). So, not sure whether you can visit it late in the day.
The highlight was going behind the waterfall and specially without much effort!!!!
翻译:这是 Raththota Illukkubura 路旁的一个美丽瀑布,提供独特的体验。
谷歌的方向是准确的。当我们在 2024 年 6 月去的时候,一条新的地毯路正在从 Raththota 路到瀑布的岔路口铺设。一旦建成,它将足够宽,可以让两辆车轻松通过……一旦你从 Raththota 路转弯,你必须行驶大约 7 公里。大约 3 公里已经铺上了地毯。大约 3 公里的路面上铺了鹅卵石。最后 700 米有大坑洼,什么也没做。但我们确实在停车场看到了离地间隙低的车辆。
有一个小型停车场和几家商店出售印度煎饼和清茶。你必须买票。(当地人每人 75 或 150 斯里兰卡卢比,记不清具体价格了)。你从停车场爬下一段台阶。楼梯状况良好,有栏杆。这段路很短,然后路线一分为二(我们甚至没有注意到)。如果你选择继续往下爬,你就会到达瀑布的底部。如果你走右边的平路……你会到达瀑布后面的一个洞穴!!!!!这里很安全,洞穴壁架有一堵矮矮的混凝土墙。还有一个短木梯,你可以用它爬到瀑布的底部。
瀑布周围的区域出奇地干净。不知道你能否在那里洗澡或游泳。
通道相当荒凉。沿途有电围栏(可能是给大象用的?)。所以,不确定你是否可以在一天晚些时候去那里。
亮点是去瀑布后面,而且特别不费吹灰之力!!!
