About
Galboda Falls(ගල්බොඩ ඇල්ල) is a waterfall in Sri Lanka. It is located by Nuwara Eliya District. Galboda is along the railway track of Colombo to Badulla. The environment is cool with much rain.
The waterfall is 30 m (98 ft) high, and the width ranges from between 3 m (9.8 ft)–6 m (20 ft), depending on the season. It is 2 km (1.2 mi) from the railway station. Since the area is close to Watawala, where the rainfall is high, the waterfall is ever young. Annual rainfall here exceeds 4500 mm [177 inches], 60% of the rain coming from the south-west monsoon. The dry season is January to February.
