Gartmore Falls

Nuwara Eliya

Overview

Gartmore Waterfall is generally known as Sri Pada Waterfall or Adam's Peak Fall due to its closeness to Adam's Peak. However, because this waterfall occupies the Gartmore estate, it is also recognised by Gartmore Falls. Gartmore Falls immediately befalls onto the Maskeliya Reservoir and is fed by two rivers that join over the falls. Each of these waters creates a waterfall before joining and lies inside the Gartmore Estate. Hence, these two waterfalls are commonly named Gartmore Estate Waterfalls. A different waterfall of the same height lies several meters away from Gartmore Falls, feeding the same Maskeliya Reservoir called Moray Falls. However, due to the proximity of these two falls, some confuse the titles of those waterfalls, and the Moray Falls is also recognised as the Sri Pada Falls. Source - srilankatravelpages.com
