Among the breathtaking beauty of the Knuckles Conservation Forest lies the enchanting Sera Ella waterfall. The road to the waterfall is awesome. It is going through a nice forest area.

Upon reaching Sera Ella, I was immediately captivated by its remote and pristine surroundings. The absence of plastic waste and polythene litter was a refreshing sight, a testament to the respect and care shown for this exquisite environment.

During my visit, I encountered only a handful of fellow explorers, allowing me to immerse myself fully in the untamed wilderness surrounding the waterfall. The ticket fee, though nominal, ensures the preservation of this natural haven and is a small price to pay for such an extraordinary experience.

It is crucial to exercise caution, especially near the deep pond at the base of the falls. Regrettably, accidents have occurred due to reckless behavior, underscoring the importance of responsible exploration.

For those seeking refreshment after their adventure, quaint shops managed by local village ladies offer delightful treats that provide the perfect conclusion to a day of exploration. Their offerings are not only delicious but also contribute to the livelihoods of the surrounding community.

In conclusion, Sera Ella is more than just a waterfall, it is a sanctuary of serenity, a testament to the unspoiled beauty of nature. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone in search of a peaceful and rejuvenating escape amidst the wonders of Sri...

Experience , and Advice🚫 guide line (important)

One of the beautiful water fall at forrest and hidden knuckles.

(Not important — Route if you are from kandy route or Kurnegala route that is join in matala After matala Town to sera ella 44km )

If you are coming matala Then you can visit 4places in one route (යනකොට කෑම බීම ඔක්කොම අරන් යන්න) 1st bambarakiri ella after that Riverstone and pitawala pathana grass land (super place. super View point available at pitawala pathana ) after that You have to go 11km to sera ella But that 11km road is very bad condition 😕 (11km yanda welawa peyakatath wediya yanawa) Totally forrest area. Can't go three wheelers or any other normal vehicle ( I mean very difficult to go) (Yanawnm hondhama wahanayakin yanna nethnm කට්ට kanda wei)

When you reach Parking area available for free. (long vehicle 6-8 can park) After that you have to go down (water fall) 150 feet from Parking area. Good stairs and handle bars available.

The unique thing about this waterfall. You can go inside the waterfall. I mean you can go behind the waterfall into a small cave (that is not risky, easily can go everyone) I didn't recommend to Bath. I think That is very danger. If you want to bath , very care fully do it. Don't go (waters) falling side. Dangerous cave and Barang stones here

So that's it Think and go...

Nestled in the lush jungles of Sri Lanka, Sera Ella is a stunning waterfall that offers a truly unique experience for nature lovers. Unlike more popular waterfalls, Sera Ella remains a relatively hidden gem, providing a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle. The journey itself is an adventure, as the path meanders through thick forest, adding to the sense of mystery that surrounds the area.

The waterfall is split into two distinct cascades, creating a picturesque scene as water gushes over the rocky ledge into the pools below. One of the most intriguing aspects of Sera Ella is the small cave behind the falls, accessible through a narrow passage. Stepping into this hidden nook, you can feel the misty spray on your face while enjoying a different perspective of the waterfall—a truly surreal experience.

Locals believe that the area has a mystical aura, with stories of ancient hermits and hidden treasures. Whether it’s the eerie silence broken only by the sound of water or the dense foliage that seems to guard the place, there’s something undeniably mysterious about Sera Ella. It’s a perfect spot for those who seek an off-the-beaten-path adventure and enjoy the allure of...
