Explore Kandy Waterfalls on a Day Tour in Kandy, Central Province

Join me for a private, one-day tuk tuk trip through Kandy in the Central Province of Sri Lanka and discover five stunning waterfalls-hike easy trails, swim beneath tumbling cascades, and soak up panoramic views as you travel through tea plantations and terraced paddy fields while visiting small rural village communities. First you’ll visit Huluganga Waterfall in Huluganga Town (note: you’ll need to take a ticket), a spectacular drop of approximately 75 m that showcases rushing water and dramatic scenery. You’ll then see the 30 m high Lebanon Estate Waterfall with its breathtaking outlook, followed by the impressive 45 m JoduElla Waterfall-and there’s time to swim under one of the falls. Along the way, enjoy a taste of homemade lump rice wrapped in banana leaf and a relaxed, nature-focused itinerary designed for adventurers, families, and anyone seeking outdoor experiences in Sri Lanka’s central highlands.

Summary: This incredible tour took us into the lush, tropical beauty of Knuckles Mountain ranges to five amazing waterfalls. Along the way, Roshan shared his knowledge and passion for his beautiful backyard. Not only did we visit waterfalls, we were taken to his village where rice is grown, stopped by a blacksmith shop, learnt about the floral and fauna in the area and walked through tea plantations. We were shown indigenous plants and spices used in creating delicious Sri Lankan food. Lunch was served by a beautiful cascade, this was prepared by Roshan’s wife and was absolutely delicious, the best we have eaten in Sri Lanka so far. The waterfalls really are incredible, coming from Australia, we have some pretty amazing falls but these were next level.

Summary: We had a really good experience with the Waterfall Tour. Roshan picked us up directly from our hotel and he showed us not only the waterfalls but also many plants and spices and gave us inside knowledge of the local people. We saw rice fields, tea plantations, 5 beautiful waterfalls, stunning views, and had an authentic insight to the Singhali and Tamil cultures in Sri Lanka. Roshan provided delicious snacks and an exceptional lunch made by his wife. We would 100% recommend doing the tour and it was definitely a highlight of our Trip!
