Best Things to Do on a Horton Plains & World's End Hike Horton Plains and World's End hike guide — the full trail loop, timing to beat the clouds, and what to expect on Sri Lanka's highland plateau walk.
A near-vertical 870-metre drop offering views over the southern lowlands, best seen before cloud rolls in around 9-10 AM.
A wide waterfall along the loop trail, roughly two-thirds of the way through the standard circuit.
Sambar deer, endemic birds and, if you're fortunate, a glimpse of a Sri Lankan leopard are all possible along the quieter stretches of trail.
The park entrance is closest to Nuwara Eliya and Belihuloya. Horton Plains is part of the Central Highlands World Heritage Site.
A roughly 9-10km circular walk taking in World's End, Baker's Falls and highland grassland, best started before 7 AM.
