wonder of Sri Lanka - Horton Plains National Park
Horton Plains National Park
Horton National Park is a ‘food for the soul’ kind
of mesmerizing locale. The park is perched in the shadows of the country’s 2nd
and 3rd highest mountains, Kirigalpota and Totapola. The place is also termed
as world’s end due to its undaunting mysterious views of waterfalls, misted
lakes and earthy species of flora and fauna. The national park is actually a
plateau and is 2000m high. It is better to start early in the morning to
witness this heavenly place.
Location: 11 kms approx from Ohiya.
Highlights: An array of wildlife such as Samba deers, leopards, wild boars, purple faced langoor; an ideal site for birdwatchers as you may encounter a variety of flying wonders such as bulbul, Ceylon blackbird, Ceylon white eyed arrenga, mountain hawk etc; the epic walk to world’s end(4kms) and Farr Inn hunting lodge.
