Horton Plains, Sri Lanka: The End of the World in the Clouds

📍Address: Horton Plains National Park, Sri Lanka. Located in the central-southern highlands of Sri Lanka, adjacent to Nuwara Eliya, it is a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 🚗Transportation: From Colombo: You can take a private car, train, or bus. The journey takes about 6–7 hours. Private car rental costs about USD 200–300 per day, including a driver. From Nuwara Eliya: You can take a private car or tuk-tuk. The journey takes about 1.5 hours. A round-trip private car rental costs about USD 50–70. From Ella: You can take a private car. The journey takes about 1.5 hours. Suitable for travelers on a circular route. 👍️Must-see attractions: [One] World's End: An 870-meter vertical cliff. The sea of clouds in the early morning is like the "end of the world." ✅ The best time to visit is 6:00–10:00. Due to traffic restrictions, you need to set off very early, around 4:00 am. Otherwise, when you reach the cliff, it will be full of fog, and you won't be able to see anything. [Two] Baker's Falls: A 20-meter-high waterfall. The water is abundant during the rainy season, and you can feel the mist up close. [Three] Little World's End: A niche viewing point on the other side of the mountain from World's End. There are fewer people. [Four] Savanna and Wildlife: You may encounter sambar deer and purple-faced langurs. Animals are more active in the early morning. The animals here are wild, so don't provoke them. 🎟️Tickets: About USD 60 per person, including taxes, jeep transfer, and guide fees. Prices may vary. Tickets are only available at the entrance to the scenic area. You need to queue on-site. It is recommended to arrive before 6:30 am to avoid the crowds. Opening hours: 6:00 am–6:00 pm. The latest entry time is 10:00 am (for safety reasons, entry is prohibited in the afternoon). 💗Other tips: There are no railings at World's End! Stay away from the edge of the cliff, and be careful on windy days.
