A World's very large collection of water falls you can found in Sri Lanka.
Because of the Center High Country Area and all the rivers are starting from there they made beautiful senaries with falling water down from misty mountains.
The highest number recorded from the Sabaragamuwa Reagion, the everyone knowing Ratnapura District.
The picture in the upper left of this page is the Saint Clairs Falls.
It is one of the most beautiful ones in Sri Lanka.
You can easily go and watch this through the tour by train to High Country, which is near the Nanuoya Railway Station.
The Highest one is the Bambarakanda Falls.

Waterfalls are one of the most fascinating natural phenomenon. They have charmed human beings from the beginning of time.

Sri Lanka in comparison to its size has perhaps the largest number of waterfalls of any country in the world.

Several geographical factors are necessary for there to be an abundance of water falls in any country. They are ,

1. The geographical formation has to be such that there is a sharp up thrust of the earth's surface.

2. They should flow over a hard surface which can resist erosion for a long long time.

3. There should be plenty of rainfall.

All above factors contributed to abundance of waterfalls in this tiny island nation, which has an average annual rainfall about 200" (200 inches) and constantly flowing streams.

There are about hundred major water falls and many more minor waterfalls in the island. This is an attempt to share the beauty of these giants with the rest of the world and you will be the judge of our humble attempt.

The island is divided into nine provinces. Of them waterfalls are abundance in the hill region which includes Central, Uva, Sabaragamuwa and parts of Western provinces. The Southern province has several water falls too. Dry zone (North, North-Central, North-Western and Eastern) hardly has any water falls other than the spill of major man made reservoirs.

Below is a map which could be used to have an idea of where about of these provinces. As soon as possible I will publish a complete guide to individual falls and until such time a good map and above mentioned books would be of help.
