The Punagala Ella located on the Yatiyanthota – Seepoth road in Punagala is also known as Anda Dola Ella Waterfall. Formed by the Anda Dola stream, this waterfall falls in 3 segments and only the bottom part of the waterfall can be seen from the Punugala bridge which is built over it.
If you get down from the right side of the bridge, you will able to see the mid-section of the waterfall which flows over 2 channels carved naturally on the rock.
To see the top section of the fall you need to travel up the stream or else by traveling further away from the stream.
