Itinerary

Pass by

Huluganga Ella Falls (75m in height) is one of many cascades created by the stream originating from the Knuckles mountain range. The cascading water sprinkles the villages of Elliyadda and Aratthana, before flowing to the Victoria Reservoir. It is popular with both local and foreign visitors and villagers regard it as part of their Dumbara heritage.

Pass by

Saree Ella is one of the numerous waterfalls in the valley of the river Huluganga, which marks the western edge of Knuckles Range, separating the latter from the Campbell's Lane Forest Reserve. The name "Saree" indeed refers to the traditional type of garment worn by the women in South Asia, as the form of the waterfall is wide at the bottom and has one single stripe further up.

Pass by

Kosgama Ella Falls is a generally unknown waterfall on the Panvila-Bambarella road. This route is well known for the 75-meter Huluganga Ella Fall which lies in the Hulunganga Town. Passing Huluganga Falls, and travelling a further 450 meters towards the Bambarella, you will reach the Kosgama Bridge, an ancient steel bridge across a stream. The waterfall lies beneath this bridge and continues further down. Unfortunately, part of the water on the stream is diverted using a canal towards a mini hydro project leaving the water available to the fall.

Pass by

It is in the central highlands where there’s an endless amount of luscious tea plantations found everywhere – as well as the famous Knuckles Mountain Range which is 10 km away from the estate. It is a three star estate that welcomes families and friends to enjoy a getaway from the hustle and bustle of urban life in the city. The entire estate has a very homely and inviting feel which makes your stay more enjoyable than it already is.
