Diyaluma Falls

Waterfall

Sri Lanka's second-highest waterfall at 220 metres, Diyaluma plunges from a sheer cliff near Koslanda on the Colombo–Badulla highway. A hiking trail through tea and forest leads to natural infinity pools carved into the rock at the top of the falls.

The climb is steep and best attempted with a local guide; the reward is a series of shallow pools with sweeping views over the valley below, unlike anywhere else in the region.
