This fall is 15m in height, with a width of 3m. It forms part of the
Bolthure River, which begins on the right slope of the 1805m-high Dethanagala
Mountain. The water then continues down the Pettigala Mountain, later
joining the Walawe River.
The nearest town is Balangoda, Ratnapura District. Take the Pettigala
road from Balangoda for 6km and the fall can be seen at the Pettigala
Masthenne section. An alternative is to travel to Budu Katuwa, 20km from
Balangoda on the road to Bagawanthalawa. From here it is a 2km trek through
tea estates. The Balangoda rest-house is 6km away.
