Horton Plains – World’s End

Horton Plains is an undulating (very) plateau at over 2,000m. We left our hotel at 5am, arriving at the start of the trek at 8am. The circular walk of approximately 10km took just over two and a half hours; according to our phones, we had gone up and down the equivalent of 55 flights of steps. The walk takes you past Baker’s Falls before arriving a World’s End, appropriately named as it is an 880m escarpment at the end of the plateau.

A surprising sight – frost in Sri Lanka, reminding us of the altitude
