Encyclopedia
Galboda Falls is the most beautiful waterfall in Sri Lanka. It is located by Nuwara Eliya
District. Galboda is a nice station along the railway track of Colombo to Badulla. There is so much nature scenery and animals. The environment is very cool with much rain.
There is a beautiful waterfall higher than 30 m, but the width ranges from between 3–6 m, depending on the season with a distance of 1–2 km from the railway station, known as Galaboda waterfall. Since the area is closed to Watawala where the highest rainfall is received out of the country, the waterfall is ever young. Annual rainfall here exceeds 4500 mm, 60% of the rain coming from the south-west monsoon
(dry season is January to February).
