  • Thinking of hiking in Sri Lanka? Horton Plains, in the Sri Lankan Highlands, is a great place to start. This 9km loop offers a relatively easy hike without compromising on the views! Horton Plains has a lovely cool climate and is home to many species that are endemic to Sri Lanka including the endangered Bear Monkey! 🐵🏞️
    Just watch out for the leopards!😉

      It's like heaven on the earth. You are walking through mistory clouds, frequently changing climate. Temperature is 0-17 celcius. Waterfalls , mountains , rivers, breathtaking sceneries. Mountain sambar deer, leapods....
      I was lucky to stay their 1 night in the camping. You must get permission from Wildlife authority to do camping there

    I remember walking here alone when it was off season and there were like one other group in total. Even though leopards are rare I was a little bit scared all the time and kept looking around to make sure no leopard was sprinting towards me haha

    It's totally a different world on a less crowded day with clear sky's. You have done justice to the plains with beautiful camara work . Now you can tell the world what a lot of places and wildlife any traveller can experience in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
    Safe and happy journey.

    You did the right thing by turning to the right at the fork. That way your path almost abruptly ends at the worlds end giving the feeling you’ve in fact come to the world’s end. If you had taken the left turn you would’ve walked along the edge all the way and doesn’t give that sudden view. Although everyone tries to get there before the mist, the mist covering the view beneath is what gives the effect and makes it look like there is nothing beyond.
