... A beautiful waterfall view nestled admidst the scenic landscapes of Nuwara Eliya district... located on a steep cliff surrounded by a mix of green trees and darker rocks... with many rhododendron and fern bushes around it... Baker’s Falls may not be the tallest or widest waterfall in the country, but it is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular... the waterfall provides a lifeline for the surrounding plants and wildlife, making it an important ecological component.... being one of the park’s main attractions, it is frequently visited by tourists throughout the year...Thanks a lot Ravindra!【ツ】
