Upper Diyaluma Waterfall – The Highlight of Your Stay
A highlight of a stay at GlenMyu Estate – Day trip to Upper Diyaluma Waterfall
When guests stay at GlenMyu Estate , they often seek memorable experiences.
For many, Upper Diyaluma Waterfall becomes the highlight of their holiday.
We recently hosted a Belgian family of three.
They enjoyed the food at GlenMyu Estate and returned from day trips to swim in the pool.
Their visit to Ella included a train ride from Haputale, a walk to Nine Arch Bridge, and lunch at Chill Café.
Although the zip line was sold out, they still loved the day.
Ella was great...but Upper Diyaluma Waterfall was the highlight!
Yet, their most treasured memory and highlight was Upper Diyaluma Waterfall.
The family, keen on nature and hiking, found this adventure perfect.
Only 40 minutes away by Tuk Tuk, the driver Indunil guided them to the upper pools and safeguarded their belongings.
They swam and explored for three hours, far longer than most visitors.
Returning late afternoon, they relaxed at GlenMyu Estate.
The daughter enjoyed the pool while her parents joined a garden tour with Ruwanthi.
The day ended with a delicious meal and peaceful rest.
Why visit Upper Diyaluma? A highlight of the stay
Upper Diyaluma is Sri Lanka’s second tallest waterfall.
The upper pools offer a natural playground where guests swim and unwind.
The hike takes 20–30 minutes, so good shoes are essential.
The Belgian family’s joy reflected what many guests feel.
The pools, surrounded by lush scenery, create lasting memories.
