Minuwan Ella waterfall cluster consists of 4 segments. The topmost segment is 4 meters high. The 2nd segment is again about 4 meters high. The 3rd segment is the tallest with a height of 18 meters. The 4th segment is about 3 meters. Considering all 4 sections this waterfall is 29m high.
Deraniyagala – Noori Road is dotted with many waterfalls, Some known and many unnamed and unknown. Unfortunately, water on most of these waterfalls has been diverted to mini hydro power plants reducing the water volumes on these waterfalls. Therefore these waterfalls are best viewed during the rainy season when the water volumes are at their highest.
The Minuwan Ella Fall itself is another waterfall which has fallen prey to a Hydro project basically drying up the whole river downstream. The waterfall almost disappears when the rain is scarce. Therefore it is best visited during a rainy period when the stream will have excess water after feeding the mini hydro plant.
The LCWF database has placed the Minuwan Ella fall in the Matale District. This is a mistake.
