Why Visit
Discover Diyaluma Falls
Plunging an impressive 220 metres into the valleys below, Diyaluma Falls is the second-highest waterfall in Sri Lanka and one of the country's most extraordinary natural attractions. While its towering cascade is magnificent when viewed from below, the true magic lies at the top of the falls. Here, crystal-clear natural infinity pools stretch towards dramatic cliff edges, offering breathtaking views across the surrounding mountains and making Diyaluma unlike any other waterfall on the island.
The journey to Upper Diyaluma is an adventure in itself. A scenic hike through grasslands and rocky paths leads visitors to a series of cascading pools carved naturally into the rock over thousands of years. Each pool has its own unique character, from calm swimming spots to shallow terraces where water gently flows towards the valley below. The elevated setting creates an unforgettable feeling of floating above the landscape while surrounded by endless mountain scenery.
Diyaluma Falls perfectly combines adventure, relaxation and spectacular natural beauty. Whether you're taking a refreshing dip in the famous infinity pools, capturing dramatic landscape photographs or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere high above the valleys, this remarkable destination delivers one of Sri Lanka's most memorable outdoor experiences. It is a place where nature has created its own luxury retreat in the heart of the hill country.
