The name of
this 30m fall is derived from the edible-nest swift (Collocalia unicolor),
which are attracted by the dark environment. Local villagers say that an
impending drought is signified by a ghost-like procession seen moving across
the fall. To combat the onset of such droughts, the villagers pay homage
to the Kohomba deity.
The fall can be found in the Pelmadulla Electorate, cascading from the east
of the Pathakade Segapuli Mountain, and linked to the Pulun Dola. Take the
Ratnapura to Pelmadulla road to the Pathakade village Bikku training college
to reach it.
