I want to film Ramboda falls. Are there strict anti drone laws there.

You absolutely must be highly cautious. While Ramboda falls itself is not a highly protected archaeological site the entire Nuwara Eliya region contains numerous highly sensitive military bases and critical infrastructure dams.

Flying a drone anywhere near high voltage power lines or unmarked military zones is strictly illegal and will result in immediate confiscation and massive fines. You must explicitly obtain formal prior approval from the Sri Lankan Civil Aviation Authority before launching any drone anywhere in the hill country to ensure total compliance.
