Horton Plains

Sri Lanka Iconic Spot

About the Location

A dramatic cliff edge, plunging nearly a kilometre into the mist, is discovered at World’s End within Horton Plains National Park. Cloud forests, rare montane grasslands, and endemic wildlife are protected across this highland sanctuary. Cool mountain air is breathed in with every step along scenic trails, and Baker’s Falls is admired cascading through untouched wilderness. An early morning hike is rewarded with sweeping views before the clouds roll in, making Horton Plains a must for adventurers seeking Sri Lanka’s wild, high-altitude beauty.
