Pahanthudawa and Pulun fall is one of our prime destinations where we visited a long time ago. But most of time when we go there, they are out of water. But this time we had a quick visit to both of them on the way to Haputale for another journey. We thought that there will be much water since there was a rain few days ago.
The fall is located at Sigapulikande Mountain in the Ratnapura District, Pelmadulla Electorate, Denawaka area. Take the Ratnapura – Pelmadulla road and turn onto the Devalegama road at Pathakada junction. The fall is 0.5km from here. This was little close to Lihiniyan Kelina fall which was we discove during our Kiribathgala Hike.

We spent few minutes at Pulun Fall and left to see the next sub destination of the main journey. We reached to Belihuloya rest house and turned left to Ihala Galagama Landuyaya road which is the road to climb Hawagala Mountain. We visit this fall for the last time on our journey to Hawagala Mountain.
It was very easy to find Pahanthudawa fall as it is the main attraction of this road. So far many hotels and guest houses in this area was based on this fall. This is a very small waterfall and beautiful and too dangerous. Many of people were died over there due to flash floods and falling to the deep pool. Reaching to the closer of the fall is much difficult since we need to walk along the rocks and it might be slippery. Hence please avoid of visiting this fall during rainy season and soon after the raining.
