Hello everyone, A short time later, I had time to make a round. A place where one can immediately see images. This is Tudugala Falls. Tudugala is perhaps the first waterfall to be found in Kalutara. One of the villagers said that Tudugala Falls is a beautiful sight as Tudugala Falls which flows down the river with a big waterfall during rainy days.

This beautiful waterfall is about 10 meters high and is located in the village of Tudugala, near Dodangoda in the Kalutara district. The waterfall is popular among tourists for its easy accessibility and beauty. So popular is Tudugala Falls on weekends and special holidays. This is Tudugala Falls, where most people in Colombo choose to get out of their daily routine and enjoy some change in the cold water.

There was wrote better sentence from Sinhala name before reach to the waterfall. That mean is Protect Tudugala waterfall because it's valuable property to the nature.

The waterfall is popular among tourists for its easy accessibility and beauty. So popular is Tudugala Falls on weekends and special holidays.

Among the waterfalls in the Kalutara district is the Tudugala Falls which is close to the black river. Located in a small mountain range in Tudugala Reserve. The waterfall has a rich biodiversity ecosystem. The Tudugala Falls estate is a British estate owned by the British and covers over 400 acres.

>*Sri Lanka's first small hydroelectric power plant was built over the Tudugala Falls and was abandoned in the 1970s. Today, that small hydroelectric plant is what appears to be a crumbling building next to a traveler.*

At present a part of this estate is cultivated with coconut. This waterfall was formerly known as 'Up Falls'. The reason is that this falls is two storeyed. Called the downstairs and upstairs. The basement is about 8 meters high. The second floor is about 6 meters high. To get to the second floor, you have to cross the first floor.

This beautiful falls is facing a tragic fate. In the face of rapid evacuation, the flow of water is diminishing, and the beautiful watercolor is being subjected to mass pollution from the hands of tourists. Tudugala Falls is threatened. Water sources in the catchment areas that fed the Tudugala Falls have begun to fall. Because of the high mountain tops, thorny coconut plantations in catchment areas have increased this threat. Think for a moment.

Thanks for visiting. See you next. Have a wonderful day.
