Scenic Peaks & Waterfalls

This collection spans the dramatic landscape of Uva Province and Horton Plains, featuring the 880-meter sheer drop of World's End and the 220-meter Diyaluma Falls, Sri Lanka’s second-highest waterfall. It highlights the geological variety of the Hill Country, from the natural infinity pools at Upper Diyaluma to the colonial-era engineering of the Nine Arches Bridge. Hikers can access panoramic views of the Ella Gap via Ella Rock and Little Adam’s Peak, while Rawana Ella Falls offers a roadside look at local folklore and cascading water.
