Located on the Nuwara Eliya – Kandapola Road the water from these falls are used to blend one of Nuwara Eliya's famous brews. The name is attributed to a rather sad event where legend states a prince fell in love with a village girl beneath his standards. The king was vehemently against the affair and forbade the prince to marry the girl. It is said these two lovers leapt off the summit of the falls on a full moon night which to this day denounces the falls. Sad tales aside, Lovers Leap is a beautiful 30 metre high fall which can be seen from the second mile post on the Hawa Eliya Road when looking towards the Pidurangala Mountain.
