Finally when we asked directions from a house the parents of a grade 7 boy did let him guide us and his stubborn grade one brother also did accompany his brother We had to cross the stream and enter another paddy field where one can enjoy a breathtaking view of Dehigala Falls which is easily over 100 meters in height and be the tallest waterfall of the district it plunges from Mini worlds end and ends at Karagahawela village. This is the second time I saw this waterfall after first seeing it from the top of Ussagala. From this paddy field, we descended back to the stream which we previously crossed to get to the base of mysterious Berry Falls. It is said that a woman named Berry has drowned and died at its base pool hence the name Berry has been given to it. ….
