Hiking with Endangered Animals | Horton Plains Sri Lanka

Thinking of hiking in Sri Lanka? Horton Plains, in the Sri Lankan Highlands, is a great place to start. This 9km loop offers a relatively easy hike without compromising on the views! Horton Plains has a lovely cool climate and is home to many species that are endemic to Sri Lanka including the endangered Bear Monkey! 🐵🏞️
Just watch out for the leopards!😉

[@toohappytobehomesick]

I missed this place in Sri Lanka, I should go on my next trip, it looks amazing

[@pasanaththanayaka2250]

You should definitely visit there

[@sanjayaperera4040]

It's like heaven on the earth. You are walking through mistory clouds, frequently changing climate. Temperature is 0-17 celcius. Waterfalls , mountains , rivers, breathtaking sceneries. Mountain sambar deer, leapods.... I was lucky to stay their 1 night in the camping. You must get permission from Wildlife authority to do camping there

[@dravisandanna]

@toohappytobehomesick Hope you get to visit there soon 😊

[@janakiabeysundera1734]

[@kanishkaherath2850]

you're always welcome

[@SnorkZiE]

I remember walking here alone when it was off season and there were like one other group in total. Even though leopards are rare I was a little bit scared all the time and kept looking around to make sure no leopard was sprinting towards me haha

[@dravisandanna]

Haha that's brave. I completely understand that feeling!😅 Anna

Fun fact.. it's called the world's end because of clouds.. when you have clouds out there it feels like there is nothing beyond that edge.. which makes you wonder if it is the end of the world..

[@pubuduchandrasiri7969]

Great video and many thanks for sharing your experience. It's one of my favourite places in Sri Lanka. Also, at Horton Plains you will find the second highest mountain in Sri Lanka and it's well worth a climb.

[@dravisandanna]

Thanks for the suggestion! What is the name of the mountain?:)

[@kalumip1]

You did the right thing by turning to the right at the fork. That way your path almost abruptly ends at the worlds end giving the feeling you’ve in fact come to the world’s end. If you had taken the left turn you would’ve walked along the edge all the way and doesn’t give that sudden view. Although everyone tries to get there before the mist, the mist covering the view beneath is what gives the effect and makes it look like there is nothing beyond.

[@stelaranholidays241]

Hey , really great video . How did you guys hire the rental car? Should we book the car prior ? The rental car is for both pick up and drop off ? Any idea about the charges for the rental car ? Please don’t mind me asking so many questions.

Hi, we booked the rental car in advance from Malkey Rent a Car. Pick up is in Colombo city and they dropped us off at the airport. Their rates are good, but will depend on season etc. Hope this helps :)
