Plan a Trip to Horton Plains
Horton Plains National Park is a windswept, cloud-covered plateau high in the Central Highlands, part of Sri Lanka's Central Highlands UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its grasslands and cloud forest are home to sambar deer, endemic birds, and rare orchids.
The park's best-known walk leads to World's End, a sheer escarpment dropping nearly 880 metres, with views across the southern lowlands on a clear morning.
