The Kotaganga Ella Falls (Kota Ganga Ella) is a cluster of cascading waterfalls on Knuckles Mountain Range in the Kandy District.

The cluster consists of at-least  7 major segments totaling probably over 100 meters in height.

The cluster of waterfalls lies deep inside the jungle with no established trail other other trails known by the villages. Also there is no full view point for this waterfall.

You can take a trail from Thangappuwa  to reach most of the major segments of the fall. But you will need a guide who knows the terrain well. The hike is approx 3.5 km uphill walk.
