Their trail occupies a part of Devianga Kale, a sprawling forest that covers seven hills. A walk to the waterfall and south-flowing river is the key attraction, but the exotic flora and fauna will compete for your attention. Monkeys 🐒 and giant squirrels 🐿️ join the elephants in occupying the area, and jackfruit trees are dotted throughout the greenery. Relax at the Forest Ambalamba by the waterfall, a hut built for resting after a swim. Just five kilometres east of the village are the Diyaluma Falls, Sri Lanka’s second-highest waterfall.

Just a few kilometres from Pasikuda Bay lies Kalkudah beach, a 4km long stretch of sand that is the vision of serenity. 🏖️ Kalkudah beach is the less-frequented neighbour of Pasikuda Bay, providing much the same experiences as the latter.

The unblemished sandy slice of paradise wasn’t always so. Back when the Tsunami hit in 2004, Kalkudah beach took quite the beating. After many years, it has been restored to its former glory, ✨ and now offers soft sands and glassy waters.
