The main attraction at Horton Plains is the World’s End. There are actually two of them which are called small world’s end and the big world’s end. They are about 1km apart from each other. From these, one could see the fall to the Tea estates down below. A merry 1000ft (328m) from the small one and a dramatic 4000ft (1312m) from the big one.

From here one could get a fantastic view of the surrounding hills and the mountain ranges wreathed in mists and clouds and on clear days even the Indian ocean which is about 50 miles (81km) to the south is visible. From the World’s End we had a fine and free bath. I felt that fall of rain was strange compared to the rain I had experienced in Colombo. Actually that was cooler and heavy.
