Trek in Horton Plains National Park

Horton Plains lies more than two thousand meters above sea level in Sri Lanka’s central highlands. This protected plateau is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to rare species such as the sambar deer and purple-faced langur. The main trail leads to World’s End, a dramatic cliff that drops almost nine hundred meters into a valley below. From this vantage point, on clear mornings, you can see all the way to the southern coastline. Mist often rolls across the plains, giving the landscape a dreamlike quality that every hiker remembers long after the journey ends.
