The walk to World's End looks and feels like you are on a Scottish moor ! But the wild rhododendrons and the clear water streams are fantastic. Go early to avoid the heat and to see the view before the fog rolls in. More

There is nohting nicer than a stroll across the hills. Just after dawn as the sunrises and the dew settles. The scenery is so different to anywhere else in Sri Lank and the views are breath taking. More

An unusual place but make sure you get there really early to see the views from Worlds end. If you're interested in the natural history get a good naturalist to show you around, they will point out loads of things you would miss. More

The main reason for visiting this park is the wonderful vistas from the two viewing points at the edge of the escarpment. These are appropriately naned World's End and Little World's End and provide panoramic views across the distant landscapes that unfold in the valley below. Baker's Falls are also worth the trek, even though the last 100 metres in... More

Compared to world class national parks in the U.S., this is nice but very overpriced (for foreign visitors.) The walk was ok but there are other places with great views and more wildlife and fewer tourists. (Try the Lipton Seat, Little Adams Peak, Ella Rock, etc.) If you go specially to see the endemic flora and fauna it is probably... More
