Upper Ramboda Oya Falls – by Dr Ashan Geeganage
| Height : | 12 meters |
| District : | Nuwara Eliya |
The Ramboda Oya creates 3 waterfalls within few kilometres in the Ramboda Area. The first waterfall called the Ihala Ramboda Oya Ella (Upper Ramboda Oya Fall) is 12 meters and lies about 1.5 km above the Gampola – Nuwara Eliya Road.
The Ramboda Oya Meda Ella ( Ramboda Oya Centre/Middle Fall) lies at the Gampola – Nuwara Eliya Road. The road travels just at the bottom of the waterfall just before the new Ramboda Tunnel. This waterfall is 6 meters tall.
The Pahala Ramboda Oya Ella ( Lower Ramboda Oya Falls) is 15 meters tall and lies about 500 meters below the center fall but not visible to road.
The upper fall is not visible to the main road. There is a footpath at the bridge near the Center Waterfall which leads to the upper waterfall. This a 1.5 km uphill hike on the steps to reach the platform to view the upper falls.
