Galagediyana Ella Falls

This water fall is very close to Colombo can be reached off Dedigama - where the famous Kotavehera Dagaba. If travel from Kotavehera to Stripura (where palace queens were hidden in times of war)- a cave temple with a magnificent stone arch- and then alone the same road ....to Kegalle.
On this road first we visited "Halalla Ella"-a stream.....not a big fall....but alone the same road we met a stream flowing down in the gorge to right of our road. About 5km off Halalla there is this beautiful "Galagedihena Ella" Falls....villages call it that way and means large number of stones.....
Can be seen to the road and this is a close view...the whole river flows in a single motion making a very wide....probably widest in the island.. curtain of water.
It is about 10m height and has a breath taking appearence.
