Galboda Falls(ගල්බොඩ ඇල්ල) is a waterfall in Sri Lanka. It is located by Nuwara Eliya District. Galboda is an isolated village located in between Nawalapitiya and Watawala, in the Colombo-Badulla, the upcountry railway. Since there is not a well-developed road system yet, the railway is the only source of transportation for the villages and travelers. The waterfall is 30 m (98 ft) high, and the width ranges from between 3 m (9.8 ft)–6 m (20 ft), depending on the season. It is 2 km (1.2 mi) from the railway station. Since the area is close to Watawala, where the rainfall is high, the waterfall is ever young. Annual rainfall here exceeds 4500 mm [177 inches], 60% of the rain coming from the south-west monsoon. The dry season is January to February.

Fortunately, the jungle either side of the river has prevented the soil being washed away by the water. The name of the fall, (Galboda means ‘fall adjoining the stone’) is said to derive from the large boulder situated at its foot, though another theory is that the water here is heavier than anywhere else on the island.

From October to January welcomes rains and an overall wet environment; February is one of the most beautiful months. The weather is awe-perfect, topped with cozy droopy skies and mystical clouds; Summers hit during March – June, where the climate gets slightly warmer but never unbearable.
