Deep in the heart of Ella’s wilderness, Ravana Falls cascades down rugged cliffs like a silver ribbon unraveling into a rocky embrace. Legend has it that these very falls were once a hideout of the mythical King Ravana, who concealed Princess Sita in a nearby cave. Today, the waterfall remains an emblem of untamed beauty, drawing travelers seeking both adventure and wonder.
The drive to Ravana Falls is an experience itself, as the lush greenery opens up to reveal the roar of the cascading water. As you approach, you’ll feel the cool mist touch your skin—nature’s soft welcome to this breathtaking marvel. Water tumbles from 82 feet above, splashing onto boulders and pooling into inviting basins below. Dip your feet into the crystal-clear waters or simply sit back and let the thunderous melody echo around you.
Ravana Falls changes with the seasons. During the monsoons, it’s a fierce torrent of power; in drier months, it becomes a quieter stream, perfect for a moment of peaceful reflection. Whichever form you encounter, Ravana Falls remains an unforgettable experience, reminding you of nature’s raw and magnificent artistry—untouched, untamed, and absolutely enchanting.
