Ravana Ella is a stunning 25-meter waterfall cascading into a natural pool, set amidst dense jungle. According to legend, the cave behind the falls was used by King Ravana to hide Princess Sita. Visitors can hike up to the cave entrance for panoramic views, swim in the cool waters, or simply enjoy the spray. The site is a favorite for both pilgrims and adventure seekers, combining natural beauty with mythological significance.
