Devon Falls

"Devon Falls, located in the central highlands of Sri Lanka near the town of Talawakele, is one of the most iconic and scenic waterfalls in the country. Standing at 97 meters, Devon Falls is often referred to as the "Veil of the Valley" because of its delicate, flowing appearance, which resembles a soft veil as the water cascades down the cliffside. The waterfall is set amidst the lush greenery of the hill country, with tea plantations and forest surrounding it, creating a tranquil and picturesque environment. It’s easily accessible from the main road, making it a popular stop for travelers exploring the scenic beauty of Sri Lanka’s central region. The best time to visit Devon Falls is during the **dry season**, from **December to March**, when the weather is more stable, and the waterfall is in its full, serene beauty. The **rainy season**, particularly in **May** and **October**, can bring heavy rainfall, causing stronger water flow and making the trails slippery and difficult to navigate. **Pro tip:** If you're visiting, it's a great spot for photography, as the falls are particularly stunning against the backdrop of the green hills. There's also a viewpoint close to the falls where you can capture the perfect shot of this natural beauty."

"Known as Sri Lanka's 'veil of the vale', Devon Falls can be seen from the viewpoint located on the Nuwara Eliya-Hatton road. Since the waterfall is located on private land, it is inaccessible to the public. Alternatively, you can admire the beauty of the falls while sipping a cup of Ceylon Tea at the nearby Melsna Tea Centre. "
