To see the breathtaking beauty of Dunhinda falls(210 feet), you have to travel about 5 Km from Badulla along the Mahiyangana road, and walk for another 2 Km (trekking) away from the main road.
Dunhinda is the pride of Badulla and Sri Lanka's loveliest and most dramatic waterfall. This is a part of the "Maha weli" river system, carrying down the waters of Badulu oya. According to the folk history of Badulla, there was a time when the whole area, which is now the Badulla valley, was inundated due to the river being blocked by a Wild creeper which had grown where the Dunhinda begins it's drop. The king of that time gave a commission to a subject to have the creeper removed and save the valley. The task took three months and saw the birth of the waterfall and the safety of the valley.
