Ratna Ella (Navarathna Ella) fall is the highest (101m height) in the Kandy region and the stream that serves it irrigates the paddy fields of the surrounding villages.


Superstitious villagers say that there were seven vessels filled with precious stones hidden close to the fall, but that five have now been found. However, anyone attempting to find the final two will meet an untimely death at the bottom of the fall.


From Hasaka go to “Ratna Ella wasama” village. From this village there is a pathway along a small stream. After about 3km you will come across a bunt which is built across the Hasalaka Oya. There is another footpath (just before the bunt on the right hand side) from here to the Ratna Ella.
