The cascading water of the 30m Mohini Ella Falls is said to resemble the flowing locks of a woman. However, superstitious villagers avoid going near it after dark, fearing that a female devil by the name of Mohini (hence the fall’s name) inhabits the area.

The fall is situated in the Nuwara Eliya District. Take the road to Nallathanniya, and 2km before reaching Nallathanniya itself, the fall is visible. The nearest town is Maskeliya.

Gartmore waterfall is generally known as Sri Pada waterfall or Adam’s Peak fall due to its closeness to Adam’s Peak. However, because this waterfall occupies the Gartmore estate, it is also recognised by Gartmore Falls.
Gartmore Falls immediately befalls onto the Maskeliya Reservoir and is fed by two rivers that join over the falls. Each of these waters creates a waterfall before joining and lies inside the Gartmore Estate. Hence, these two waterfalls are commonly named Gartmore Estate Waterfalls.

Different waterfall on the same height lies several meters away from Gartmore Falls, feeding the same Maskeliya Reservoir is called Moray Falls. However, due to the proximity of these two falls, some confuse the titles of those waterfalls, and the Moray Fall is also recognised as the Sri Pada Falls.
