Devon is another famous waterfall in Sri Lanka.
It is situated close to St. Clair Waterfall of Thalawakele. In fact like St. Clair, you can view this picturesque sight from A7 road (Avissawella – Nuwara Eliya).
The fall is more than 300 feet high and it is formed of a tributary of River Mahaweli, known as Kothmale Oya.

Rainfield,
Yes, Those who live up there, can see similar views everyday. My kind of heaven :)
Kirigalpoththa, Stunning! All the lush green and the rush of water... 300 feet! Heavenly ... Yes!
It's one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Sri Lanka for me. Have you been to Devon tea centre as well? There, you can enjoy a nice cup of tea while absorbing the beauty of the waterfall.
Hello, Kiringal.
Thanks for your visit and for your kind words.
It was good to have known your excellent Blog. I will return with more time to see everything you have here.
A hug for you.
That's quite a large waterfall!
This is a beautiful waterfall -- one of the most impressive I've seen. You know how much I like waterfalls and I thank you for sharing this with us.
What a beautiful area!! I love all of the angles in this capture.
That has to be some kind of powerful force, with the amount of water spilling down! I imagine you could hear it from where you took the pic?
btw: Those tall trees to the right of the falls are so gorgeous! Do you know what kind of trees they are?
Lovely! I once saw it when it was raining and it looked really brown, like Milo. This is much better. Super work, K, As usual :D
Cheers!
What an impressive sight...

Sachira,
I am not sure about Devon, Tea Centre. But I went to a super place called 'Mlesna' Tea Castle which had a great view of Devon. I had a good lunch there and bought some nice tea there. Also they had a mini hall full of exhibits related to tea industry.
CR,
You are welcome and thanks for your comments :)
Linnea,

Yes, I could see the sound of splashing water from there quite well. It was a heavenly sight. Sorry, I have no idea of those trees, but yes they are quite nice. I'll let you know if I get more info about them.
Me-shak,

Thanks a lot!

Many thanks :)

Guess there are few tea centres nearby. I took this one from a place near 'Mlesna' Tea Castle. I could not go near the falls. But must do it one day :)

Thanks all for your comments. :)
WOW! Waterfall amidst dense greenery. A blissful monsoon sight!
Sankara,
Thanks a lot :)
Lovely snap. I guess this and St. Clair are the waterfalls that a most number of people have seen. :)
Chavie,
Yes, mostly because they are situated by the side of A7 main road and Kandy-Badulla railway line.
It is so lovely to see photos of where you live. I have two friends from Sri Lanka (from the north) and I was trying to ask them about the scenery in that country. I can now see some of it thanks to you :-)
Breathtaking!
Great shot, that looks like an amazing waterfalls. I also love to photograph waterfalls, in fact I recently went on a hike where there was one waterfall after another (although nothing like this one).
Al,
Yes waterfalls are photographer's delight. What ever the angle or timing you get a good photo. This waterfall is a quite big one. But I also have found many smaller waterfalls during my hikes like you mentioned. Thanks for our comments.
who is Devon named after? I had a student called Devon, and a fellow teacher whose surname is Devon.
Very beautiful.
Waterfalls are always fascinating no matter where they are. And with this kinda height like 300 feet.. wow.. it definitely is a treat to the eyes.
BTW if you've got a close up of this fall, don't forget to post it later.
Ann,
There is an estate nearby of that name, maybe the falls also got the same name.
Harumi,
Sorry, I have never gone close to the falls. All the photos were taken from the road. But I promise you to post a closer picture soon. :)
What an awesome sight!
I can almost hear the water come crashing down!
I love waterfalls!
Nicole,
Glad you like it. Thanks a lot for your comments!!
