Bomburu Ella is the widest waterfall in Sri Lanka. The trail is heavily trafficked but gets incredibly muddy and slippery during the rains. Wear proper hiking boots. Yes, there are small village stalls near the entrance selling fresh strawberries, sweet corn, and hot plain tea. It is a very rewarding hike.
Do not try to cross the river at the base of the falls. The rocks are smooth as glass and people slip constantly.
Scam Watch: ella
People outside stations offer to "help" buy tickets but charge large markups. They may buy cheap third-class tickets and sell as more expensive classes.
