Ravan Ella Waterfall

"Recommended (won't need it after Boburu Fall) Ravana Ella Waterfall, near Ella, is one of those places where legend and natural beauty come together perfectly. Named after the famous demon king Ravana from the *Ramayana*, this waterfall is said to be part of the cave where Ravana hid Sita after abducting her. Whether you’re into mythology or not, there’s no denying the mystical vibe of this spot. The waterfall itself is stunning, with water cascading down from a height of about 25 meters, creating a series of rock pools at the bottom. The sound of the water crashing against the rocks is both powerful and soothing, making it a great place to just sit and take it all in. The surrounding area is lush and green, with plenty of spots to explore if you’re up for a bit of a climb. What makes Ravana Ella even more special is its accessibility. You don’t have to trek for hours to get there, it’s right off the main road, making it a popular stop for travelers exploring the Ella region. Despite being easy to reach, it still feels like a hidden treasure, especially if you visit early in the morning when the mist hangs low and the light is soft. Locals sometimes take a dip in the natural pools, and if you’re feeling adventurous, you can join them. Just be careful, as the rocks can be slippery. Ravana Ella isn’t just about the waterfall itself; it’s about the whole experience of being in a place that feels both ancient and alive, where every stone seems to whisper a story."
