Horton Plains National Park Sri Lanka

Horton Plains National Park Sri Lanka is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the island’s most spectacular wilderness areas. Located in the central highlands near Nuwara Eliya, this unique plateau combines rolling grasslands with mist-covered cloud forests, creating a haven for rare plants and animals.

The park’s most famous hike leads to World’s End, a dramatic cliff that drops nearly 900 meters. On clear mornings, visitors are rewarded with sweeping views of the plains far below. Along the same trail, you will also find Baker’s Falls, a stunning waterfall that adds to the park’s natural charm.

Horton Plains is home to remarkable biodiversity. Herds of sambar deer graze openly across the grasslands, while rare birds, reptiles, and butterflies thrive in the forests. The cool climate and shifting mists create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in Sri Lanka, making each visit feel magical.
