Dehena ella, Rathnapura.
■ Standing at an impressive 73 meters, the waterfall provides a breathtaking view that makes it a worthwhile stop. Known locally as Gaslabu Ella, the waterfall is fed by a small stream of the same name. According to folklore, the area was once used by ancient kings as a place of torture, where victims were thrown into the waterfall. This grim history led to the name Damana Ella, which later evolved into Dehena Ella.
