This full-day highland adventure takes you to one of the biologically extraordinary landscapes in Sri Lanka – the Horton Plains National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where rolling grasslands, cloud forest and the most spectacular cliff-edge viewpoint on the island create an experience of breathtaking scale and rare natural beauty. The park’s famous World’s End viewpoint is a sheer escarpment dropping nearly 1,000 metres to the southern lowlands below, and in clear conditions, the views extend all the way to the coast, a vista of power and grandeur that is best experienced at dawn before the rising mist obscures the cliff edge. The circular walking trail through the park also passes the lovely Baker’s Falls, a multi-tiered waterfall framed by ferns and mossy rocks in the cool, misty air, and through the surreal patana grassland habitat where endemic sambar deer graze among the morning mist.
