A protected plateau ecosystem at 2,100 meters elevation featuring World's End cliff drop and Baker's Falls. The park contains the headwaters of three major Sri Lankan rivers and supports endemic species like the sambar deer. The circular hiking trail covers diverse landscapes from grasslands to cloud forests. It ranks among Nuwara Eliya's most visited sights, and for good reason - most itineraries include it on day one.
What It Is
The circular trail passes through misty cloud forests where leopards leave paw prints on muddy paths.
Why Visit
Sri Lanka's most dramatic cliff views and unique montane ecosystem with endemic wildlife. That puts it near the top of any Nuwara Eliya visit, and it deserves the spot. Mornings are quieter if you want to take your time.
