This waterfall is commonly known as Sri Pada falls due to its proximity to Sri Pada holy mountain. Since this waterfall lies inside the Gartmore estate it is also known by the name Gartmore Falls. Sri Pada Falls directly falls onto the Maskeliya Reservoir and is fed by two streams that join the falls. Each of these streams creates a waterfall before joining and lies inside the Gartmore Estate. These two waterfalls are jointly called Gartmore Estate Waterfalls. Another waterfall of about the same height lies several hundred meters away from Sri Pada Falls feeding the same Maskeliya Reservoir is called Moray Falls. Due to the close proximity of these two falls some confuse the names of these waterfalls and the Moray Falls is sometimes identified as the Sri Pada Falls.
