However looking at how most local tourists behave at such places, this may be a blessing in disguise.

To reach the waterfall, you need to travel about 2 km on ths narrow twisting and turning road to its end. At the edge of the river you will find the viewing platform.

Around the World - Episode 02 | Atha Mala Ella, Pitabeddara, Sri Lanka. | ඇතා මළ ඇල්ල, පිටබැද්දර.
Atha Mala Ella (also known as Pahuruthota Ella) is situated closer to Pitabeddara in Matara District in Sri Lanka. This 52 m waterfall is the largest found along the Nilwala River.
Name of this waterfall literally means, “the waterfall where the tusker died” in Sinhala (“Atha”= tusker; “Mala” = died; “Ella” = waterfall). According to the folklore, there had been an elephant path above the waterfall in the past. Once, a tusker (elephant) fell off the waterfall trying to cross the river and died, hence giving the name for this waterfall.
The waterfall can be reached by taking the A17 Galle-Madampe Road and turning off at Kosnilgoda (between Pitabeddara and Kotapola).
At present, a mini hydro power plant has been built near this waterfall.

ඇතා මළ ඇල්ල හෙවත් පහුරුතොට ඇල්ල පිහිටා ඇත්තේ, මාතර දිස්ත්‍රික්කයේ, පිටබැද්දර ප්‍රාදේශීය ලේකම් කොට්ඨාශයේ, කොස්නිල්ගොඩ ග්‍රාම නිලධාරී වසමේ යි. නිල්වලා ගඟෙන් පෝෂණය වන විශාලතම දියඇල්ල වන මෙය මීටර් 52ක උසකින් යුතු වේ.
අතීතයේ මේ ආශ්‍රිතව අලිමංකඩක් පැවතිබවත්, දිය පහර තරණය කිරීමට උත්සාහ කළ ඇතෙක් ඇල්ලෙන් පහළට වැටී මිය ගිය බැවින්, ඇතා මළ ඇල්ල ලෙස හැඳින්වෙන බවත් ජනප්‍රවාදයේ දැක්වේ.
ගාල්ල සිට මාදම්පේ දක්වා දිවෙන A17 මාර්ගයේ, පිටබැද්දර සහ කොටපොල අතර හමු වන කොස්නිල්ගොඩින් හැරී කි.මී. 3 ක් පමණ ගමන් කිරීමෙන් මෙම දිය ඇල්ලට ළඟා විය හැකිය.
වර්තමානයේ, මෙම ඇල්ල ආශ්‍රිතව කුඩා පරිමාණ ජල විදුලිබල ව්‍යාපෘතියක් ක්‍රියාත්මක කර ඇත.

Kandedola Ella | කන්දෙදොල ඇල්ල, Pitabeddara (2014)
This waterfall can be seen when you travel along Matara-Deniyaya road at Kandedola Bridge. But to get a closer and beautiful view you have to get down to the water stream and climb up. It is bit difficult to go up in rainy days.
Kandedola Tea Factory is located close by and Nilwala River flows downhill to the right.

Special Note for the Viewers:
I’ve done this video to make you aware of the beauty of this place and please don’t misuse this information in order to ruin it. I’ve spent so much of time/money bringing this to you so that you may enjoy it.
I also have a very kind and humble request to make. Should you ever visit this place, you’re kindly requested to adhere to the following in order to save our Mother Nature not only for the future generations but for the current one as well:
* Avoid careless/irresponsible/money-oriented/mega tour groups or organizers.
* Travel in small groups as Mother Nature can’t afford so many footprints at once. Stick to the designated trails or hardback surfaces at all times.
* Minimize the use of polythene/plastic and do bring them back. Please don’t burn them in the wilderness. Even organic/bio-degradable waste is harmful to the nature and animals. Please stick to the simple rule of “if you pack it in, pack it out”.
* Use reusable water bottles, plates and cups. Even paper cups/plates are harmful and take years to decompose.
* Remain quiet and vigilant. Don’t disturb the tranquility of the nature. Respect wildlife and don’t disturb them in anyway. Also be considerate of other trekkers.
* Please collect and bring any litter/garbage left behind by other careless travellers.
* Don’t light fires unnecessarily and do try to use portable cookers instead of using firewood when camping. If you must, only use firewood on the ground and don’t cut any trees for this.
* Don’t bring any plants back with you or cut any trees/branches unnecessarily..
* Don’t use soap/ shampoo when bathing in natural streams as they contaminate them and kill wildlife.
* Don’t do anything that harms the Mother Nature.
