World’s End viewpoint and unique montane ecosystem.
Horton Plains is a high plateau of grassland and cloud forest that forms part of the UNESCO Central Highlands of Sri Lanka. A circular walk of about nine kilometres leads to the famous World’s End, where the land drops away in a sheer cliff of nearly 900 metres, and to the graceful Baker’s Falls.
Highlights
- World’s End and Little World’s End viewpoints
- Baker’s Falls along the circular trail
- Sambar deer, endemic birds and rare mountain plants
Travel tips
Arrive at the gate early in the morning, because clouds usually cover the view by mid-morning. Wear sturdy shoes and warm clothes, and bring your own water. Plastic bags and certain single-use plastics are not allowed in the park, and an entrance fee applies.
