This is one cascade one could interact with .The waterfall appears to tolerate much activity at first glance .It certainly provides the opportunities but keep and eye on any change in water level as Galboda is a highly dynamic when it comes to changes in water flow .It could be sedate and fascinating but within seconds the the waters could roar. Be watchful in the afternoon and particularly at a time when the weather is on the rainy side.

Galboda is an isolated village located in between Nawalapitiya and Watawala, in the Colombo-Badulla, the upcountry railway. Since there is not a well-developed road system yet, the railway is the only source of transportation for the villages and travelers.

About a 5 hour train ride from Colombo to Galaboda station. From the station there's a very easy hike for about 1 hour to the falls. You can spend as much time as possible there, can even bath. Water is so cold ;) I woundn't say bathing is entirely safe for all ages since there are some pits under water :) You can finish everything within about 5 hours and come to station and catch the train around 4pm. It's a brilliant place for a oneday trip. Not only the water fall, path towards it is filled with beautiful scenaries. Highly recommend ;)

Its 4 hrs (134km) away from Colombo via Awissawella Kithulgala rd. We did not take the Sripada turn near 43rd km post, as condition of that road is not supposed to be good. We took the Sripada rurn after arround 5km from Ginigathhena. We went there in February which is dry month so there was no leaches. Waterfall may not at its fullest due to dry season but safe. There are two directions to the waterfall, one to the top of the fall and other one to the bottom of the fall. We didn't go to top of the fall as we had kids and though its not safe. We went to the bottom of the fall. For that we had to climbdown arround 1.5km. There are cement steps up to the bottom. But climbing up was bit tiring. (Altogether I did bit more than 4600 foot steps both the ways down and up) Before climbing down better get the information about water level from the shop owners nearby as if dam opens water level can be riseup & become dangerous. We actually left Colombo in the morning arround 5.30 am and reached there arround 9.30 -10 am for the breackfast. We had a morning picnic there. Attraction time depends on how fast people can climb down and up and how much time they want to spend there.

This great waterfall is definitely worth seeing. It is a long way down to the bottom and a most difficult one back to the top. You must be in a fit condition to do it. If you are a visitor. A small observation platform is constructed close the natural pool below the Aberdeen Falls, which is picturesquely framed by rock surfaces. Despite this visitors’ terrace, travellers are rarely seen at Aberdeen Falls. It’s still an off-the-beaten-path destination.

An extremely spacious to have a bath in a natural area in nawalapitiya.it is nearby hindford railway station on colombo _ badulla railway line.though this is not a waterfall but its width makes a huge water sliding experience over the stone surfaces.it is a 20m sliding up to down basin which cannot be stopped on the way.sometimes,it may be dangerous.be careful and someone must be down basin to keep in touch the sliding one.

This is also called Kataboola falls. The fall and the arch bridge make this one of the most scenic waterfalls in the country. This fall consists of two main cascades. The bottom of both cascades can be reached by foot. Also there are signs posted warning of deep pools of water and better to be cautious.
