Formerly known as 'Thevatura Falls' (Tea Waterfall), the Peratas Tea Estate and factory are located above. The water cascades over several platforms, thought only a 10m section is visible from the road, and eventually joins the Kotmale Reservoir.
The surrounding area is rich in both flora and fauna, with plant life including erebadu (Erythrina Indica). This makes for a serene setting, thus it is popular with visitors.
Take the road from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya for 52km to find the fall near the lower Ramboda Bazaar.
