Horton Plains is Sri Lanka's highest plateau at 2,500 metres and is a region of beautiful and diverse scenery from mountains to grasslands and forests. You may spot wildlife like sambar deer, leopard, slender loris and purple monkey as well as colourful butterflies and rare bird species. There are spectacular views from 'World's End' where the plateau plunges over 1,000 metres in a straight drop and on a clear day, you can see all the way to the Indian Ocean 50km away. The region also includes the spectacular Baker’s Falls.
