Enchanting Beauty of Devil's Staircase Waterfall

Getting There

• Walking

  From the Horton Plains National Park entrance, start at the main visitor center. Follow the main trail into the park, which is well-marked and takes you through beautiful scenery. After approximately 2 kilometers, you will reach a fork in the trail. Take the left path that leads toward the 'World's End' viewpoint. Continue along this trail for about 1 kilometer until you reach a sign that indicates the direction of the Devil's Staircase Waterfall. It's a short detour off the main path, and the trail is moderately challenging with some uneven terrain.

• Taxi or Private Car

  If you are driving or using a taxi, head towards Kalupahana - Ohiya Road. From the Horton Plains entrance, take the road leading to the Ohiya railway station. Continue straight for about 5 kilometers until you see a sign for Devil's Staircase Waterfall on your left. There is limited parking available along the roadside. Make sure to park safely and continue on foot from there, as the waterfall is about 500 meters from the road. Follow the clear path leading to the waterfall.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Devil's Staircase Waterfall via public transport, take a bus from Nuwara Eliya to Ohiya. Buses run regularly, and the fare is quite affordable (typically around 100 LKR). Once you reach Ohiya, you can hire a local tuk-tuk or walk the remaining distance of approximately 3 kilometers to the waterfall. If choosing to walk, follow the Kalupahana - Ohiya Road, keeping an eye out for signs pointing towards the waterfall.
