Diyagalla Ella Falls
This was a beautiful water fall which had been
completely wiped off by man. It was situated close to Ginigathhena
along the N'Eliya road.
It was 20m (66ft) in height and now non-existing due to
the diversion of its flow for some irrigation scheme. This may be one of
it's last photographs.

Vada Hiti Ella (Lakshapana Falls)
The old name of this beautiful and Gigantic water fall is "where
a vadda was" (- vadda is an ancient tribe man.)
It was named as "lakshapana"-meaning a 100,000
bulbs- reminding us the first hydroelectric project that was undertaken successfully
in this country.
It is 129m (413ft) height and now flows less water due to the tank
made.

We Called this "Acchige Ella"- as the wrong
directions of a granny made us wonder in the thick jungle, providing us,
but a glimpse of this otherwise gigantic 100m (330ft) fall.
I included this as this may be the only photo taken through this
angle.(...hope to update with a better picture.)
It is situated in the Aberdeen estate and can be reached via the Ginigathhena
town.

Madolsima Ella Falls
This is not a famous Fall, yet a charming one. If you look at the
middle part of the photograph, a metal tube can be seen. It was for the
diversion of water to make electricity and done in 1940s. Still it is
well maintained and the diversion did not affect the beauty but help to
appreciate it better as a staircase was made over the metal tube to
descend below. It is of 10m height, situated off Hatton in the Balangoda
road.
