This beauty was found in the northern part of Knuckles Range about 8km from Illukkumbura. The falls is known as Sera Ella and it is one of the many scenic places belongs to Thelgamu Oya.
There is a road that goes very close to this falls and you have to walk about 300m down a foot path to reach there. We did it in the hard way as we walked along Thelgamu Oya and on the way we found another waterfall (Upper Sera Ella / Small Sera Ella) and passed many attractive places down the stream.
All these butterflies were found during that jaunt.

You are a waterfall seeker.
Hello K..
when i stop here ,i always have a nice moment of serenity..
a wondeful zen place..
have a nice Xmas..:o)
wow. I would love to take a dip :D But I bet it's full of kudallo?? in a way, i'm glad places like this are not too... 'discovered' by our folk (like marble beach)...helps it keep pristine... at least a bit :)
I love waterfalls. There aren't any waterfalls near my home, so I'm always happy for anyone who gets to see one.
That is a really beautiful waterfall! :D Water must be chilly, though? :D
George,
You are most welcome and wish you and Betsy a Merry Christmas too!!
Dejemonos,
Yep it is one of the best places I have seen.
Anjana,
Yep, we'll plan some thing out for sure. Just drop a mail to kirigalpoththa@yahoo.com. :)
Rainfield,
Not as good as George and Betsy though :D
Clo,
Glad you like my pictures. Wish you a Merry Xmas too :D
Dee,
This side is more towards eastern ridge of Knuckles. So we didn't see koodello closer to the falls. But on the other side (wet side towards Raththota) we found it was infested with them.
I agree with your comments. Some places are better keep them 'hidden'. By the looks of it Sera Ella is already quite famous and we saw few people there during our visit.
Ratty,
Wish there are waterfalls around your place, then we could see them through your wonderful weblog :)
Thanks all for your wonderful comments.
Chavie,
Water was quite chilly, but not unbearable like in Horton Plains.
Thanks for your comments :)
That's a true beauty!
You certainly know what beautiful is. Keep flowing with the thrill of the water.
Frieda,
Thanks very much :)
Natural Moments,
I'd love to keep my momentum like the flowing water of Sera Falls :D
Beautiful fall. It makes me look forward to summer and swimming. That is a lovely spot. It would be frozen here today.
i could easily allow myself to get lost here. it's beautiful. i simply love waterfalls. they are peaceful. hope all is well.
Aaah, another amazing nature escape,just about perfect!
it's beautiful. coincidentally, i dreamed of waterfall last night, and planning to hike to a nearby waterfall this weekend.
Nature at its best !

Your country is so full of Beauty and surprises. Love this and the shots in the last posts!

All Best Wishes to you into the New Year 2011!
lovely!
Elizabeth,
Thanks and wish you the same :D
Sharodindu,
thanks very much!
Spectacular setting! The pool looks very inviting.
What absoultely timeless beauty. It leaves one breathless, speechless and completely at peace. Thanks to Bern for guiding me to this remarkable blog. Like Bern, you invite everyone to walk in Stillness, see nothing and thus rediscover not only inner beauty, but beauty in everything.
It is so peaceful. I bet with the sounds from the waterfall, it is a great place to sit and relax.
Thelgamu Oya looks lovely. Mother Nature at her best? :) Btw...Happy New Year to you and your loved ones, K!
Sankara,
Thanks very much :)
Liara,
Thanks very much for dropping by and for your very encouraging words. Bern is a very good blog friend of mine and I really like his adventures and weblog.
Flutietootie,
Yes, it is a great place to visit :)
Loshini,
Yes, Thelgamu Oya is a marvellous place!
Thanks, and wish you a happy new year 2011 too :D
I wish you a happy new year!
Thanks Cat and wish you the same! :D
great shot. I like the composition a lot. framing the waterfall with the greenery draws the eye straight to the falls in my opinion.
Hi Dev,
Thanks. Glad you like it!
I'll post few more of this falls soon. Was busy last few days so could not post much :)
