729th tallest waterfall in the world might not sound like much, but when you pit that against an estimated total of 9 million types of waterfalls all around the globe, it certainly packs a punch. Ramboda Falls is the 11th highest waterfall within Sri Lanka and has a natural formation that is rarely seen in waterfalls. If you're on your way from Peradeniya and you're gazing at the stunning greenery surrounding you on the A5 highway, you might notice the distant curtain of water draping a rock surface. What you're seeing is the middle portion of the Ramboda Falls, which is actually made up three different sections visible from different angles. We promise none of them will disappoint!

If you’re wondering what the natural formation we’re talking about is, it’s the natural “Y” formation that you can see as you stand in awe of the waterfall, a phenomenon caused by the falls from two tributaries combining to crash into the water below. It’s a breathtaking sight of twin waterfalls, joining in perhaps a symbolism that the more poetic among you would itch to capture, whether through the viewfinder of a camera or in writing. The Ramboda Falls are also called the “Puna Falls”, given that they originate from Puna Oya (river), a tributary of Kothmale Oya. If you have the luck to visit at different times of the year, you might notice that one of the twin falls has more water than the other, attributed to the water passing through farming lands during drought.
