About This Tour

Horton Plains in Sri Lanka is the coldest and windiest location in the country covered by wild grasslands and interspersed with patches of thick forest, rocky outcrops, filigree waterfalls, and misty lakes. The surprising diversity of the landscape is matched by the wide variety of wildlife. The world’s end is a sheer cliff, with a drop of about 4,000 feet (1,200 m). It is one of the most-visited parts of Horton Plains National Park, and a key tourist attraction place in Sri Lanka. Large mammals could seldom be seen at Horton Plains. Samber is a common sight at dusk and in the early morning hours. Mammals that still occur in reasonable numbers include Kelaart’s long-clawed shrew Feroculus flocculus slender loris tardigrades endemic to the montane toque macaque Macaca Sinica , purple-faced langur Presbutis entellus, rusty-spotted cat Felis rubigimosus and etc. Horton Plains National park harbors 12 species of endemic birds are recorded only for Horton Plains.

    Embarking on this adventure was a highlight of our family trip, particularly when we found ourselves surrounded by the enchanting wildlife in the misty highlands. One moment that stood out was when we spotted a rare bird perched gracefully among the tea plants, a sight that made us pause and appreciate the serene beauty around us. We enjoyed a leisurely hike through the scenic plains, breathing in the fresh air and relishing the stunning views that seemed to stretch endlessly. Although the day’s schedule was fairly packed, a little more time to soak in the landscape would have been perfect for us. Overall, it was a memorable experience that beautifully combined nature, culture, and the warm hospitality of the area.

    Exploring the unique wildlife on the Horton Plains was a stunning highlight, with the misty beauty of the landscape leaving me in awe. I loved sipping freshly brewed tea in Nuwara Eliya, though a bit more time to wander around the charming town would have made the day perfect.

    Our day trip from Kandy to the stunning plains of Horton was nothing short of enchanting. We were particularly captivated by the vibrant tea plantations in Nuwara Eliya, where the rolling hills and lush greenery made for amazing photo opportunities. The wildlife sightings along the way added an unexpected thrill; spotting a deer or two in their natural habitat felt like an authentic experience. While the transportation was mostly comfortable, we did find that the drive could be a bit longer than anticipated at times. Overall, we left with wonderful memories of breathtaking views and a deeper appreciation for the local culture.
