Dunhinda Falls

Dunhinda is a very popular waterfall in Sri Lanka. It has a height of 64 meters. Therefore it is not leading from its height. But, it is a remarkable waterfall when considering the beauty of it. The falls gets its name due to the smoky dew drops spray and is also known as the “Bridal Fall” because the shape of the waterfall reflects a bridal veil.The pool is the largest in Sri Lanka’s waterfall. Also, over 180 degrees around the wilderness is surrounded by mountains and rocks. It’s a very beautiful mood in the jungle.

To reach this waterfall it is required to travel in Badulla – Mahiyangana main road. There is a junction known as “Dunhinda Junction” situation about 6 km from Badulla in this road. When travelling form Badulla that place can be easily identified with the sign board with a gate at the right side of the road a footpath starts from that junction towards the waterfall where the people have to walk about 1 km to reach the waterfall.



It is possible to park the vehicles near the main road. There are some sellers all along the foot path who sells herbal drinks and grains. Therefore the footpath is usually not lonely. But at some points it is very narrow and would have to take care of yourself.
