What to expect

The Kota Ganga Ella Falls (Kota Ganga Ella) is a cluster of cascading waterfalls on Knuckles
Mountain Range in the Kandy District. The cluster consists of at-least 7 major segments
totaling probably over 100 meters in height. The cluster of waterfalls lies deep inside the
jungle with no established trail and other trails known by the villagers. Also there is no full
view point for this waterfall. Trekkers can reach this waterfall from Thangappuwa village. The hike is approx. 5.5km uphill walk. It’s highly recommended to go with a guide who knows the directions well to
the fall.
