The road from Ella to Wellawaya passes the base of Diyaluma Falls — impressive enough, but the real attraction is the top. A trail leads up from the village of Koslanda to a series of natural rock pools at the summit, the highest of which sits right on the edge of the 220-metre drop. The infinity-pool view across the southern plains is the photograph that has made Ella's wider region famous on Instagram.
The hike up takes about an hour and is steep in places; a tuk-tuk to the trailhead saves the long approach. Best done early in the morning, both for the light and to avoid the crowds. Bring water and proper shoes — the rocks at the top can be slippery and the drop is not fenced.
