View from the Edge

This view was captured from top of Diyaluma after reaching the edge of bedrock.

Towards the Edge

This photo was taken, while we walking towards the edge of Diyaluma Waterfall.
A breathtaking view of Koslanda can be seen from the edge of the waterfall.

Edge

Above photo was taken from the edge of the hard rock on top of Diyaluma. A few feet away, there is a vertical drop and water falls about 700 feet and goes under the bridge of Beragala - Wellawaya Road. You can see the road below and a van travelling on the road like a dot.

Top of Diyaluma

We recently had a great hiking adventure closer to Diyaluma waterfall. We camped near Uda (Upper) Diyaluma waterfall. Above picture was taken from top of Diyaluma and you can see the silvery line of water falling from the edge of the cliff.

Diyaluma

Diyaluma is the second tallest waterfall in Sri Lanka. At over 700 feet, it is second only to Bambarakanda.

The road to Diyaluma, is as beautiful as the waterfall. The waterfall is formed by Poonagala Oya, a tributary of Kirindi Oya, which meets the sea at Bundala.

There are many hiking routes and camping locations beyond the waterfall and you can climb to the top of the waterfall as well. But you need to be careful, as this area belongs to the wild. There is a high chance of close encounters with a herd of wild elephants along these tracks.

The Road to Diyaluma

The road from Beragala to Wellawaya via Koslanda is a fascinating road for any nature lover. To reach Diyaluma Falls you need to travel 22 km from Beragala junction.

There are some exciting hiking routes from Diayaluma Falls. A hiker can start the journey from the foot of the fall or end his journey there.
