Horton Plains is a high-altitude plateau of grassland, cloud forest, and dramatic escarpment set at 2,100 metres above sea level – Sri Lanka’s most striking highland walking destination. The trail to World’s End, a sheer cliff edge that drops nearly 900 metres to the southern plains, is one of the island’s most dramatic physical experiences, best reached in the early morning before cloud cover descends. Baker’s Falls, the endemic purple-faced langur, and the sweeping moorland landscape of the plateau add further dimensions to what is already an exceptional destination.
