Pitawala Pathana World’s End Trail

Pitawala Pathana World’s End Trail

Venture into the cool highlands of Horton Plains National Park and explore misty grasslands, cloud forests, and rugged cliff edges for a trek culminating at the dramatic World’s End. A cliff offering panoramic views over lowland plains below. On clear days, the drop appears like the earth ends and the sky begins.

This hike gives you a refreshing contrast from the cool, crisp air at ~2,100 m, through wide plains and forest patches, to sudden cliff-edge vistas. The flora and fauna differ from the lowlands: misty grasslands, cloud-forest vegetation, and cool-climate species make the environment unique.

Why you’ll love it

  • Refreshingly cool climate and highland scenery.
  • Dramatic cliff-edge views at World’s End, surreal mist and valley vistas.
  • Great for nature lovers and photographers seeking crisp highland landscapes.
