Unlike many other waterfalls in Kaluthara District, the Namal Ella has the water pond on the zenith of the waterfall. The name Namal Ella was given due to the forest canopy protection consisting of National Tree of Sri Lanka – the Na trees. In the Na folder blossoming seasons of the year, the area is drowning in the fragrance of the flowers giving, soothing, comforting and relaxing effect on the atmosphere. With Na trees' natural protection, the forestry landscape, with rural disposition and without any clear way of reaching the destination, the accessibility is rather difficult without harming the eco-system. This has made the waterfall area a sanctuary for bio-diversity housing fish, fauna and Flora which is native to the land. This extremely wonderful paradise resides in Mannawatt at Kalukandawa in Athwelthota.
