Gartmore Falls: A Hidden Gem in Maskeliya, Nuwara Eliya

Also known as “Sri Pada Falls” or “Adam’s Peak Falls," is a spectacular waterfall located in the charming town of Maskeliya, in the Nuwara Eliya District.

Towering at 25 meters, the fall is close to the revered Sri Pada Holy Mountain, making it a popular spot for both nature lovers and pilgrims alike.

The Unique Formation of Gartmore Falls
Nestled within the lush expanse of the Gartmore Estate and gracefully cascades into the Maskeliya Reservoir. The waterfall is fed by two streams that originate within the estate. These streams create their own waterfalls—Upper Gartmore Falls and Lower Gartmore Falls—before merging to form the majestic Gartmore Estate Waterfalls, collectively known as Gartmore Falls.

Distance and Travel Time
From Nuwara Eliya: 73.2 km
Estimated Time: Approximately 2 hours 28 minutes

Things to Keep in Mind
• Footwear: Wear sturdy and comfortable shoes, as the terrain can be uneven and slippery, especially during the rainy season.
• Daylight Visits: Plan your trip during the day to safely navigate the estate and fully enjoy the breathtaking views.
• Respect nature: preserve the pristine environment by avoiding littering and being mindful of local wildlife.

A Nature Lover’s Paradise
Visiting Gartmore Falls is more than just a trip to see a waterfall—it’s an immersive experience in Sri Lanka’s lush hill country. As you walk through the Gartmore Estate, you’ll be greeted by panoramic views of tea plantations, the Maskeliya Reservoir, and the surrounding misty hills. The tranquil sound of cascading water adds to the magical ambiance, making it a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone seeking peace and serenity.

Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a connection to the sacred surroundings of Sri Pada, Gartmore Falls is a must-visit destination that promises a memorable experience.
