Horton Plains

Horton Plains sits above 2,000 metres, a rolling grassland plateau usually reached as an early start from Nuwara Eliya — the walk to World's End needs to happen before mid-morning, when cloud rolls in and the view disappears. The full loop takes two to three hours at an easy pace, passing Baker's Falls partway round, through cloud forest and open grassland with sambar deer often grazing close to the path. It's cold before sunrise, so bring something warm.
