Horton Plains National Park is a beautiful high-altitude plateau at nearly 2,200 metres above sea level, blanketed in montane grassland, cloud forest and patches of stunted jungle rich with endemic wildlife. The park’s centrepiece is World’s End, where, on clear mornings before the mist rolls in, the views extend across the southern lowlands to the sea. The circular trekking trail through the park also passes Baker’s Falls and offers regular encounters with sambar deer, purple-faced langurs and rare highland bird species.
