Elgin Falls, 25m high, are situated on a tributary of the Dambagastalawa Oya on the northern slope of the Horton Plains. This jungle-set waterfall gets its name from the Elgin Estate, near which it is situated.

There are two ways of seeing the Elgin Fall. The easiest is a casual observation from the train while travelling the line between Talawakele and Badulla. The difficult but more satisfying way is to travel the 19km stretch of road from Talawakele to Elgin Estate. This road turns into a path which reaches the waterfall within 2km.
