Formerly known as ‘Thevatura Falls’ (Tea Waterfall), the Peratas Tea Estate and factory are located above. The Devathura Ella Falls cascades over several platforms, though only a 10m section is visible from the road, and eventually joins the Kotmale Reservoir.

The surrounding area is rich in flora and fauna, with plant life including erebadu (Erythrina Indica). This makes for a serene setting, and it is popular with visitors.

The waterfall lies just before the new Ramboda Tunnel. Another attraction close to this waterfall is the old Nuwara Eliya road which was used before the Ramboda Tunnel was built. Today this road looks quite narrow and is not being used for vehicle traffic. Walking about 20 meters on this road you can see how one of the rocks has been cut in to build the road during the British occupation.

Alternate names : Devathura Ella, Dewathura Ella , Thevathura Ella , Thewathura Ella
