Duwili Ella - Sinharaja
Duwili Ella is a well-known waterfall . The meaning of the word
Duwili is dust in Sinhala, therefore, several waterfalls in Sri Lanka
are known as Duwili Ellas because the water that spouts from the fall is
a mountain of dust .
However, this particular Duwili Ella is in the Sinharaja world
heritage rain forest of Sri Lanka. This waterfall can be accessed from
the Deniyaya - Pitadeniya entrance of the southern province.
Hariyawa water stream
The Hariyawa water stream is in southern Sri Lanka and mingles with
the Ginganga in the Sinharaja nature reserve. The place, where the
stream and Ginganaga meet is one of the deepest points of the stream.
The Brahmana Ella is some 500 metres from this point. This point is not
suitable for bathing.
However, there are many safe spots along the stream, where one can
have a bath.
The gloomy dark surrounding due to thick jungle, keeps the water of
the stream extremely cool even on very warm days. The water of the
Hariyawa water stream hardly sees the sun rays due to the blockage of
the thick canopy of trees. The water is crystal clear and clean while it
is filtered by nature and still not touched by man.
There are five waterfalls originating from the Hariyawa stream and
one of the most beautiful and popular waterfall is Duwili Ella.
The other waterfalls are Tattu ella, Gal oruwa ella, Uran wetunu ella,
and Brahmana ella. From the point, where the stream meets the Ginangana,
which marks the beginning of the journey to the waterfalls, to the last
waterfalls is around 1/2 kilometres.
All these fascinating waterfalls can be viewed within a few hours due
to the close proximity of each other. |
