Ravana’s Cave

Ravana Cave is a historic and legendary site believed to be connected to King Ravana from the Indian epic Ramayana. According to local folklore, this cave was used by Ravana to hide Princess Sita.

Located on a hill above Ravana Falls, the cave requires climbing a series of steep steps—around 600—to reach the entrance. Though the cave itself is relatively small today, it is said to have once extended deep into the mountain.

Visitors are rewarded with scenic views of the surrounding valleys and forests. The combination of mythology, history, and light adventure makes it a popular stop for travelers exploring Ella.

This site is ideal for those interested in Sri Lankan legends, short hikes, and panoramic viewpoints.
