A Quiet Cascade in Adam's Peak Country
Gartmore Falls is a pretty waterfall set among the tea estates near Maskeliya, in the highlands close to sacred Adam's Peak. Named after the Gartmore estate, it's far less visited than the famous roadside falls, offering a peaceful stop for travellers exploring this scenic, pilgrimage-rich corner of the hill country.
What to Expect
- A graceful cascade framed by classic emerald tea estates
- A quiet, local atmosphere away from the tour crowds
- Beautiful highland and reservoir scenery nearby
- Easy to combine with an Adam's Peak trip
Getting There & Tips
- Reached via the Maskeliya area on winding tea-country roads.
- Wear good shoes for short walks to viewpoints.
- Combine with Laxapana Falls and Adam's Peak for a full day.
Best Time to Visit
Gartmore is fullest after the rains (October–January). The drier months — which also coincide with Adam's Peak pilgrimage season — make travel easier. Mornings are clearest.
