    Significance: Situated in the only river in Sri Lanka that does not connect to any other river and flows directly to the sea.

    This is said to be a waterfall supplied by the Ma Oya. The Ma Oya starting at Asupini Ella is supposed to be the only river in Sri Lanka that does not connect to any other river flowing directly to the sea in Negombo. According to folklore, it is said that if one were to tie a stone on to a string and lower it into the water, it will never hit the bottom. Story’s also claim that there is a hidden underwater cave behind the waterfall which can be used to hide in. At the bottom of the fall, there is a section which has become like a little reservoir owing to the tiny gap between which the water has to flow out to go downstream.
