Location
Aberdeen Feel Resort
Featuring wonderful waterfall views, Aberdeen Waterfall's Edge villa features accommodation, a restaurant, private luxury rooms, and a garden. Complimentary WiFi is available. For added convenience, the property can provide towels and bed linen. Continental and à la carte breakfast options are available each morning at the camping. Waterfalls Edge Villa also offers a sun terrace.
Both a bicycle rental service and a car rental service are available at the accommodation, while cycling and trekking can be enjoyed nearby. The nearest airport is Bandaranaike International. It is about three hours away (102.0 kilometers) via B445 and Avissawella - Hatton - Nuwara Eliya Hwy/Ginigathhena Rd/A7
Aberdeen Waterfalls
The 98-meter-high waterfalls of Aberdeen in Nuwara Eliya District are formed by the Kehelgamuwa, a tributary of the Kelani River. Aberdeen Falls, definitely among the most picturesque waterfalls of the island, is named after the nearby tea plantation, Aberdeen. Many tea plantations in Sri Lanka bear British names, Scottish toponyms in particular.
According to a typical folk belief in Sri Lanka’s highlands, Aberdeen Falls are connected with the Lakshapana Falls further south by a five-kilometer-long tunnel. Both waterfalls carry less water since water reservoirs and hydroelectric power stations were established in the area of the Kelani River tributaries between Maskeliya and Kithulgala. However, except for extraordinarily dry periods, the Kehelgamuwa River at Aberdeen Falls does not dry out completely.
A small observation platform is constructed close to the natural pool below Aberdeen Falls, which is picturesquely framed by rock surfaces. Despite this visitors’ terrace, travelers are rarely seen at Aberdeen Falls. It’s still an off-beaten-path destination.
Kithulgala Village
West of the road from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya, Kitulgala is a popular adventure-sports center located amid thickly forested hills. Most visitors are young and energetic from Colombo, but foreign visitors are also starting to discover the region's white-water rafting, jungle trekking, bird watching, and cave exploration.
The town’s other main claim to fame is that David Lean filmed his 1957 Oscar-winning epic "Bridge on the River Kwai" here on the banks of the Kelaniya River, though there's little physical evidence left to see.
A few kilometers from Kithulgala is a large cave system where the 28,500-year-old remains of early humans were discovered. Many hotels in the area can arrange a guide to the Belilena Caves.
Laxapana Waterfall
The charming Koththelena village, with its breathtaking views of the Seven Virgin Hills, is the perfect escape from bustling city life. The secret to having a good time in Koththelena is to avoid the tourist traps and visit the spots tucked away in the hills. Think about majestic waterfalls, lush greenery, and a bed of clouds dotted with mountain ranges.
This picturesque waterfall that plummets over Maskeliya Oya is 126 meters (413 feet) high and is the eighth tallest waterfall in the country. It is situated in the valley of the Maskeliya Oya area in the foothills of the Seven Virgin Hills in the Nuwara Eliya District. It is formed by the Maskeliya Oya upstream near the confluence of Kehelgamu Oya and Maskeliya Oya, which later forms the mighty Kelani River. Laxapana literally means “a hundred thousand lamps.”
