Horton Plains National Park
An ethereal high-altitude plateau at 2,100 meters elevation, home to the dramatic World's End sheer cliff, cascading waterfalls, and rare cloud-forest flora.
Discover Horton Plains National Park
Perched on a misty plateau over 2,100 meters above sea level, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Horton Plains National Park is a hauntingly beautiful, windswept wilderness unlike anywhere else in the tropics. Characterized by stunted montane cloud forests draped in mosses, wild rhododendron trees with crimson blooms, and golden tussock grasslands, Horton Plains is a trekker's paradise.
World\'s End & Baker\'s Falls Loop
The park\'s iconic 9.5 km circular trail leads hikers to World\'s End, a breathtaking sheer cliff dropping 870 meters straight down to tea estates and villages below. On crystal-clear mornings before 9:00 AM, views stretch all the way to the southern coastline. Further along the trail, the roaring curtain of Baker\'s Falls cascades over glistening granite ledges framed by tree ferns.
