This falls in the Ratnapura district is a staggering 108m high. The name of the fall is derived from the numerous wild boar found in the vicinity that come to drink water and often get swept away by the gushing waters. The river flows onto a rocky ledge, which creates a three-tier fall. Further downstream, the river passes another fall called Kottun, before joining the Kaluganga.
Even in severe droughts, the fall never dries up and supplies the nearby Kiribathgala State Plantations estates and hospital with water. A wide variety of trees and medicinal plants grow in the fall`s lush surroundings. The fall flows from the Mirishena jungle from the Pettiyagala mountain in the Opanaike Divisional Secretariat division.
