Pahanthudawa Falls

Pahanthudawa is located in Belihuloya, Ratnapura District, Sabaragamuwa Province.  If you want to go to Pahanthuda from Belihuloya, you have to go 2 km up the road near Belihuloya restaurant or on the road called Ihala Galagama Laduyaya. 

Pahanthuda is so famous for its topographical features. Starting from Horton Plains, Belihuloya flows from the upper Galagama area through a rock drain.

Belihuloya has been given a wonderful beauty in this area by the rock pits formed by the long flowing stream of water hitting these rocks.

Pahanthudawa Falls is a small waterfall about five meters high, but no one knows the depth of the lamp-shaped pit. This main pool is never suitable for bathing.  Many people have drowned here.  

Recently, several university students also drowned here. According to villagers, even the bodies of some of the dead have not been found.  

 Although bathing in the Pahanthudawa pit is dangerous, many people bathe in the small pits below.   But the beauty here is indescribable.  Pahanthuda is also a great place to take creative photos.  

        

 Although it is one of the most attractive local tourist.  destinations in the world, it is not considered as a tourist destination by foreign tourists.
