  • 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!😉

    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.
