The waterfall is known by many names. Puna Ella ( Puna Falls), Pundalu Oya
Ella ( Pundalu Oya Falls) and also as Poonawa Ella ( Poonawa Falls) are the
most popular. This double fall is unique in the 'Y' form where two waterfalls
with two water sources merge in to one at the bottom. The water in the fall
on the left is from the Puna Oya, A canal which comes through the forest reserve
above. The fall on the right hand side is made up from water from Pundalu Oya
which flows through cultivated land above. Most of the year the fall flowing
through the Pandalu Oya carry more volume but during periods of long drought
the role is reversed. The water on flowing on the left fall remains more or
less the same while the water on the other fall reduces significantly.
This fall can be seen on Peradeniya - Nuwara Eliya Route between Pussellawa
and Ramboda.
