Discover the stunning Amithirigala Goraka Falls on the border of Western and Sabaragamuwa. A perfect day trip from Kolaba and Gampaha regions.
Situated on the border of the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces, Amithirigala Goraka Falls has become a popular destination for day trips, attracting travelers from the Kolaba and Gampaha regions.
Accessible via the Talduwa – Meivithigammana road, you can reach Goraka Falls by turning from the Namalgamuwa area. The presence of such a waterfall in this area, which is remarkably close to Colombo and within the lowland wet zone, is truly astonishing.
The multi-tiered Amithirigala waterfall can be described as a grand cascade into a pond. During the dry season, the waterfall’s flow, which originates from several tiers, becomes more subdued.
Fed by a tributary of the Kelani Ganga, Amithirigala Goraka Falls is surrounded by small forests, contributing to its natural beauty. Numerous natural pools can be found here, making it an enticing destination for weekend visitors seeking a safe bathing spot.
