Aberdeen waterfall

 Aberdeen waterfall is one of the most attractive waterfalls in Sri Lanka.

 Its a great waterfall situated in an unfrequented place by tourists and definitely worth seeing.

Aberdeen Falls is 322 feet high on the Kehelgamu River near Ginigathena in Nuwara Eliya. It is ranked as the 18th highest waterfall in Sri lanka.

Aberdeen falls is located 115km from the Colombo and 6km from Nuwara aliya in the Kehelgamuwa mountain range, which surrounds an area of Ginigathhena, Norton Bridge, Lakshapana and Maskeliya.

To reach Aberdeen Falls from Ginigathena, one must proceed along Ambatale Road up to the Buddha statue at the end of the road. Then should walk about 1.2 km along the road.

The waterfall  is a part of the Kehelgamuwa River which joins the Maskeli River at Kalugala before it flow into the ocean through the Kelani River. 

Unfortunately, the Norton Bridge dam which was constructed under the Lakshapana Project has decreased the volume of water in the waterfall. They say that there is a tunnel leading from Aberdeen Falls to the neighbouring Lakshapana Falls and the opening of it can be seen near the Puna River.
