Athwelthota Kabaragoi Ella Falls – කබරගොයි ඇල්ල

Height :	23 meters
District :	Kalutara

Athwelthota Kabaragoi Ella Falls is another small but a graceful waterfall lying in the Athwelthota area. Kabaragoya means water monitor thus the name of this waterfall can be interpreted as the fall of the water monitor. The reason for the name is unknown but it can be safely assume that that this areas might have had a dense population of water monitors in the past. The waterfall is best seen during the rainy season and is a popular bathing location.

This waterfall is situated about 1/2 km off the Ahas Bokkuwa bridge which is a arch bridge built in the early 1900’s.

From Athwelthota travel towards Kalawana for approximately 4 km and you will come to the Ahas Bokkuwa or the sky bridge which is said to be built during the first world war. The upstream footpath right next to the bridge along this stream will take you to the bottom of the fall.

You can reach the top of the falls by continuing on the road and taking the Kamburuhena road (first by-road to the left) and traveling about 1.5 on this by road.

The waterfall is sometimes referred to as “Ahasbokku Ella” by the villagers due to the proximity of the above bridge. The location marked on Google Maps ( as at Aug 2017) is wrong.

Alternate names : Kabaragoidola Ella, Ahasbokku Ella, Ahasbokkuwa Ella
