This is approximately $82 USD for two adults.

There is a lower cost for local Sri Lankans, which is normal at tourist sites on the island to make it affordable for them.
If you’re planning to visit, it’s worth noting that the park opens early, around 6:00 AM.
Going early provides you with the best chance to catch the stunning views at World’s End.
When you enter the trail, we would recommend that you our left to get to World’s End as early as possible before the clouds come in.
Horton Plains National Park is an amazing experience.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers breathtaking landscapes and a unique biodiversity.
It sits at an elevation of 2,100 to 2,300 meters (6,900 to 7,500 feet) above sea level.
Horton Plains spreads across over 3,169 hectares of the highest tableland of the island.

Here's what you can expect during your visit to Horton Plains
World’s End

This dramatic cliff with a nearly 1,200-meter drop, offering stunning panoramic views of the valleys and tea estates below. 

If you are lucky enough to visit on a clear day, you can see all the way to the Indian Ocean.
Baker’s Falls (Waterfall)

A picturesque waterfall surrounded by lush greenery. 

The waterfall is a short detour from the main trail down some concrete stairs.
We find that it is a welcome relief and a place where the spray can be cooling during your walk.
It provides a serene spot for photos or simply enjoying nature. Here is a family enjoying the beautiful cascade.

Flora and Fauna
Horton Plains 
is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts.

You’ll encounter sambar deer (this one was at the entrance), endemic bird species, and possibly even the elusive Sri Lankan leopard if you’re lucky. 

The landscape is dotted with montane grasslands and cloud forests.
Chimney Pool and Mini World’s End
There are other viewpoints and features along the way.
Each has their own charm.
We would recommend that you don’t rush your walk which will enable you to enjoy this amazing environment.
Be prepared for a hike!
The park’s early-morning mist creates an almost ethereal atmosphere, and the trekking trails make it an adventurous yet peaceful experience.
Bring a jacket for the walk as it is cool in the morning and you may get a little bit of rain.
Make sure you bring sturdy shoes or walking boots as some of the early garden parts of the trail can be a little tricky to navigate.
Also, bring plenty of water as it can get warm and you will need to keep hydrated.
If you are travelling from GlenMyu Estate, we provide you with a packed brackfast so you have something nice to eat during you hike.
When should I visit Horton Plains?
The best time to visit Horton Plains National Park is during the drier months which are from January to March. We have had guests at GlenMyu Estate hike the trail in December and some were lucky and some unlucky with the weather.
During this period, the weather is more stable, and you can enjoy clear views at attractions like World’s End without the interference of mist or rain.
Early mornings are particularly ideal, as the skies are usually clearer, and the park is less crowded.
