The Thudugala Ella falls is located on the Thudugala Estate, an estate which was owned by a British Nationalist. While it is not one of the tallest waterfalls in Sri Lanka at a mere 8 meters, it is, however, one of the best places to have a bath in the Kalutara area and has been declared as one of the most popular waterfalls in Sri Lanka by the Lanka Council on Water Falls (CLWF).
