Hulu Ganga Waterfall – The Hulu River is one of the Mahaweli River’s major branches. The height of the waterfall is about 68 meters. It carries a lot of water because the entire Hulu Ganga spans this waterfall. As a result, it is too wide to effectively spray water drops over a long distance. You can reach the fall from a distance.
