Continue on the A4 road for about 25 km until you reach the town of Avissawella. From Avissawella, follow the signs to Labugama. You will take the B294 road leading to Labugama village, which is around 10 km away. The last few kilometers will require navigating through some narrower roads, so be cautious.

Once you arrive in Avissawella, you will need to take a local bus or a three-wheeler (tuk-tuk) to Labugama. Local buses may take you to the village; otherwise, negotiate a fare with a tuk-tuk driver. The distance from Avissawella to Labugama is about 10 km, and this leg of the journey will cost approximately 200-300 LKR. Once you reach Labugama (R5RM+8F6), you can begin your trek to the falls.
