Horton Plains National Park

In view of the large number of endemic flora and fauna species, Horton Plains was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 30th July 2010. Horton Plains, its surroundings, forests and the adjoining peak wilderness constitute Sri Lanka's most important catchment area of almost all major rivers. A Horton Plains Hike would take about 3 hours. So the best advice would be to head off early.
