About

Rajanawa Ella perennial fall is used to irrigate about 9 hectares of surrounding paddy fields. It's said that the ancient King Walagamba bathed and organized his armies at this site, hence ' Raja ' or ' King ' in the fall's name. The fall is also said to harbor gold in a mysterious and difficult-to-locate tunnel that is guarded by stone doors.
