Beginning from the Hanguranketha Mountain, and flowing to the Suduganga River, the 12m Andanwala Falls is situated in Matale District Ukuwela PS (Provincial Secretariat) Division, in the Laliambe Village.
Previously it was a perennial fall, but in the 90’s decade due to the illegal felling of trees, the water volume had reduced and is presently facing the possibility of being evanesced. Another contributing factor is the damming of the upper reach of the fall, vitiating the volume of the cascade falling to a pool which resembles a bed, thus giving rise to its name.
To get to the Water Falls, travel along the Matale-Elkaduwa Road passing the Laliambe School. After going ahead for 3km and traversing through the privately owned land located to the right, the fall could be accessed.
This fall has been identified erroneously as Andawala Falls in one waterfall description page. in the LCWF website. When trekking to the waterfall remember to carry protection against leaches.
