About Pahanthudawa Falls

Pahanthudawa is formed by the Belihul Oya before the river reaches Samanalawewa Reservoir. The narrow gorge and sculpted rock walls give this waterfall a distinctive setting despite its relatively modest drop.

Planning your visit

Confirm the current approach from Belihuloya with a local guide or host. Reaching the view can involve uneven rock and exposed sections; turn back if the route requires crossing rising water. The basin is deep, and a small waterfall does not mean a safe swimming pool. Avoid the gorge during or after heavy rain.
