About Bambarakanda Falls
Bambarakanda is a breathtaking sight, especially after the rains. Surrounded by a steep pine-covered cliff in the Kalupahana area, it falls as a thin, elegant veil of water. The hike to the base is short and scenic, while the "Top of the Falls" trek offers one of the most incredible views in the Uva Province.
