Places To Visit In Horton Plains National Park

Baker's Falls

Baker's Fall is a famous waterfall named after Sir Samuel Baker, who was a renowned explorer. It is in Horton Plains National Park (2000 metres above sea level), Sri Lanka. The Fall is about 66 feet high and is on a tributary of the BelihulOya. After one's hike to Big World's End (a cliff in the national park which offers expansive views over a plateau that drops almost 880 meters vertically down) and Little World's End (300-meter landscape drop), the sound of gushing water acts as an invitation to the hikers. Surrounded by fern bushes, the waterfall is an audio and visual delight because of the rumbling water and the sound of birds chirping. After a 9.5 kilometre walk in Horton's plain, the fall is an ideal and refreshing place to stopover, relax peacefully and take some memorable clicks from the viewing platform at the falls. Read More

Bambarakanda Falls, an hour away from the Horton Plains National Park, has the enviable distinction of being the tallest waterfall in the country, and certainly one of the most spectacular in the monsoon. Bambarakanda Falls plummets down from a height of an enormous 263 metres and is created by the Kuda Oya, a tributary of the Walawe River. Enjoy the sight of the waterfall from the viewing platform, which is reachable by a small hiking trail. One can also visit a few smaller but scenic waterfalls in the vicinity, such as the Lanka Ella Falls, with help from a local guide. Read More

The Samanala Dam located 9 km from the village is the second largest in Sri Lanka. Belihuloya is famous for its climatic transitions and is a transitioning point between the dry and wet zones.

World’s End (Horton Plains)

With a drop of more than 800 metres, World’s End is an escarpment within the Horton Plains National Park. A popular vantage point among locals and tourists alike, the vistas of the surrounding misty hills, tea plantations and the buildings at World’s End are nothing short of jaw-dropping. A long but beautiful hike amid the wilderness with sightings of Mini World’s End, Baker Falls and myriad flora and fauna leads you to World’s End. Linger at the viewing platform and relish the mesmerizing scenery. Without a doubt, the views at the World’s End are amongst the best that Sri Lanka has to offer. Read More
