SRI LANKA ~ Bambarakanda Falls - Balangoda ~

...Great waterfall in an amazing setting... the tallest on the island... it is not a wide waterfall but drops as a thin line from a rocky outcrop... this is the first of 12 new postcards issued by Sri Lankan post showing unseen places of natural beauty... I already know for sure that 2017 will be once more a fantastic postcard yearツ... looking forward to see more...always special with a matching stamp...Thanks so much Ravindra!!\_(♥‿♥)_/

With a height of 263 m (863 ft) is it  the 299th highest waterfall in the world. The Bambarakanda Falls  lies in the Badulla District among a evergreen forest in the Kalupahana Area.

The fall is formed by the Uduweriya Haputale mountain and Kuda Oya, a tributary of Walawe River.
