The Goxins Fall (Goskin Falls) gets its name from a British planter, Goxin, said to have been adept at aquatic sports. It is 50m in height and up to 50m wide during the rainy season. The source of the fall is at Bubula in Mannikaya Patana. The water flows over a rock to join the Kaluganga River at Gilemale. At the base of the fall, the water plunges into a deep pool, though the exact depth is unknown. The surrounding area is mainly used for tea plantations.

The fall is located 25km from Ratnapura town, Ratnapura District, Palmadulla area. Take the Ratnapura – Wewelwatte road and turn left at Nugapola town onto the Dehena – Kande road. Go through Wewalketya village and Kambiadia. From here it is 4km to Halakande village where the fall can be found.
