Horton Plains is a grassland plateau forming one of Sri Lanka’s most biologically important national parks. The park’s most famous feature is World’s End, a sheer escarpment that drops nearly 1,000 metres to the southern lowlands, offering a vertiginous and spectacular view that is best experienced before the morning mist rolls in to obscure it. The plateau is also home to Baker’s Falls, a beautiful multi-tiered waterfall framed by dense montane forest, and the circular walking trail through the park passes through an eerie, wind-swept landscape and stunted cloud forest.
