The Knuckles mountain range extends up to Matale – the Hunnasgiriya is located at one end, 1765m above sea level. This area is subject to every climatic condition of the island. A group of five streams flow from here and meet to form the Mahaoya Reservoir, which leads on to Hunas Falls (48m high and 12m wide) and the Sudu Ganga River.
The Upper Hunas Falls lies above the Hunas Falls Hotel in the Hunnasgiriya Estate and its 5min Walk. Nice little waterfall which eventually goes on to create the hunnasgiriya waterfall. Jungle trail is full with leaches. Be extra cautious if you are not a fan.
