Horton Plains & Great World’s End Drop
Cloud forests, wild plains, and one jaw-dropping edge
Horton Plains & Great World’s End Drop
Walk the Wild Highlands to the Island’s Edge
A visit to Horton Plains National Park takes you into a unique highland ecosystem unlike anywhere else in Sri Lanka. At over 2,000 meters above sea level, this misty plateau is home to cloud forests, grasslands, endemic wildlife, and the famed World’s End—a sudden cliff that drops nearly 900 meters. The 9 km circular trail includes Baker’s Falls, herds of sambar deer, and breathtaking lookouts. Start early to catch the views before the clouds roll in, and be prepared for cool air, crisp light, and raw natural beauty.
