Kuda Falls (30m in height) is near Kirindi Ella Falls and it is the difference in size between these two falls that gave rise to its name. Rain dramatically improves the fall but simultaneously floods the low-lying Kuttapitiya village. There is a minor hydro-electric power plant at the top of the fall. It is not well-visited but those who do venture here should note that several people have drowned at the site.
The fall can be found in Kuttapitiya above the Kirindi River in the Kaluwara Dola stream, Ratnapura District (Pelmadulla Divisional Secretariat, Kuttapitiya GS area).
