Arawakumbure Dunhinda Ella

Badulla |
The 45m fall is full even during the dry season and derives its name from the famous Dunhinda Falls (see number 76) where the spray forms a mist. The source of the fall is the Ibban Oya (river), a tributary of the Gal Oya (river). A number of valuable trees are found in the area, locally known as Suriya, Mara, Bulu and Nellie, but unfortunately colonisation has caused deforestation.
The fall is visible from the Lunugala - Bibile road. Situated in Lunugal town near the Alakola Mountain, 6 km from the Batticoloa road in Arawakumbura (Passara Electorate in the Badulla District).
