Also known as Asupini Ella Falls as well as Ahupini Ella Falls. This waterfall is about 325 feet high and consists of several parts. Many people use the upper part of Asupini Ella Falls for bathing.
Ask a villager about where you can bathe in the waterfall. In any case, it is good for the body to take a bath in a place where the water is low because there are dangerous places in the waterfall. If you are careful, the water can reach the top of the falls in less time. The slope of the cliff is slippery and you have to be careful not to overdo it. He needs to be re-vaccinated as he went.
There is a sign at the place where you go down to the waterfall saying that taking selfies and bathing is dangerous. There is a reason for doing so.

Route:
- Kegalle --> Asupini Ella Falls Since we went from Kegalle, the route was the Mawanella Dippitiya Aranayake Horawela and walked along the Horawela-Deiyanwela road. Google Map also shows the way we went. If you go by bike you can go to the waterfall on that road. A 4 wheel high vehicle is also possible. Even if you go by bike, there are some difficult places on that road. If the bike is high, the tires are good and the brakes are good, there is no problem. I can't say if I can go by scooter. Anyway, you can go in 3 wheels until you get on that road. Then you have to walk, it took more than half an hour to go from Horawela to the falls by bike.
