The 68m Madanagiri Ella Falls is also known as the Mohini Ella Falls since villagers believe that a female apparition called Mohini haunts the area. The fall is situated in the Ratnapura District. Take the road from Ratnapura towards Weweltanne and the fall is to be found after 26 km.

LCWF above lists Madanagiri Ella as a 69-meter-high fall but based on the photo provided by the site and directions, this fall is approximately 5-10 meters high based. Based on the photo, the possible location of the waterfall was identified and photographed. The water levels of this stream have been reduced due to a mini hydro plant at the bottom.

There are 2 waterfalls at the top of the stream which could be possibly Madanagiri Ella and the Pandioya Ella. The two waterfalls are at the same level probably on two streams, one falling onto the Pandi Oya. It’s not easy to climb up to the waterfalls.

Following are the waterfalls lying on the Ratnapura-Wewalwatte route
