Huluganga Falls (75m in height) is one of many 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.
A dam had been built across the top of the fall under the Kundasale Water Supply Scheme, a project sponsored by Kundasale PC and the Sri Lanka Board of Investment (BOI) to supply water to the Kundasale Electorate. However, environmentalists have pointed out that there is not enough space between the dam and fall, causing a decrease in the flow of water.
The fall is situated below the town of the Hulu River, near Panwilla, (Kandy District, Panwilla Provincial Secretariat Division).
