Ambuluwawa to Ramboda Falls
Rivers, as they flow over uneven ground or down mountains, often split into tributaries or form waterfalls. Sometimes two tributaries of the same river may form twin waterfalls very close to each other as the water spills down cliffs and rocks. However, it is quite uncommon for the tributaries to combine after forming the waterfalls making a Y shape. This unique and beautiful sight can be seen at the Puswallawa area of Nuwara Eliya at the Ramboda Pass. The Ramboda Falls in Sri Lanka or Ramboda Ella or Puna Ella as these falls are called is created from Puna Oya, a tributary of Kothmale Oya. It makes a twin with Dunsinane Falls which is created by Pundalu Oya, also a tributary of Kothmale River, and combines at the base to form a Y shape.

The religion is a hybrid of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Christianity. The Cao Dai Temple at Tay Ninh has been described as a Walt Disney fantasia of the East. The temple's exterior is decorated with multi-colored dragons of all shapes and sizes competing for space with a number of Buddhist symbols. Above the main entrance is the all-seeing holy eye, the symbol of the Cao Dai sect. The interior is just as engaging as statues of Jesus Christ, Buddha and the Hindu god, Brahma, stand side by side.Your day trip starts at 9am with pickup by your guide at the lobby of your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and head to Tay Ninh Province to visit the famous Cao Dai Holy See Temple, which is a fusion of Buddhism, Taoism, Catholicism and a few other religions.

Exploring the Cu Chi tunnels was an exhilarating dive into Vietnam’s history, and we loved every moment of crawling through the narrow passages—though we did wish it was a bit cooler inside!

Our day exploring the tunnels and the Cao Dai temple was a fascinating peek into Vietnam’s history and culture. While we appreciated the private nature of the tour, the drive from Ho Chi Minh City took longer than we anticipated, leaving us a bit rushed at the temple.
