Worlds End in Horton plains

Horton Plains & World’s End – Sri Lanka’s Most Breathtaking Highland Adventure

Explore the stunning beauty of Horton Plains National Park, one of Sri Lanka’s most spectacular highland preserves and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in the Central Hills, this misty plateau is famous for its rolling grasslands, cloud forests, rare wildlife, and panoramic mountain scenery.

The highlight of the park is World’s End, an awe-inspiring 880-meter cliff drop that reveals one of the most dramatic views in the country. On a clear morning, visitors can see sweeping valleys, tea estates, and even the distant southern coastline. Nearby, Mini World’s End offers another unforgettable viewpoint with a gentler drop but equally stunning vistas.

During the nature walk, travelers can spot sambur deer, purple-faced langurs, endemic birds, and exotic plants, while enjoying the cool climate and peaceful atmosphere of the highlands. The trail also passes the sparkling Bakers Falls, a charming waterfall surrounded by lush forest.

Whether you're a nature lover, photographer, or adventure seeker, Horton Plains and World’s End deliver the perfect combination of hiking, wildlife, and breathtaking natural beauty — a must-experience highlight of Sri Lanka’s hill country.
