The waterfall on the Bothumba Oya close the popular Bolthumbe Saman Devalaya is known as “Aliya Wetuna Ella” or simply “Bolthumbe Ella”. The name “Aliya Wetuna Ella” means the ‘waterfall from which a Elephant fell’ which probably refers to a past incident at the falls.
The waterfall lies on the road to the famous Bolthumbe Saman Devalaya. About 250 meters on this road, you will come across a ‘Sapaththu Palama’ where the Bothumba Oya crosses the road. The waterfall lies above this point and you need to walk through the jungle along the stream to reach this hidden waterfall.
