Guided tour to Horton Plains National Park which is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Sri Lanka. Horton Plains national park is the highest plateau in Sri Lanka. It marks the southern boundary of the central highlands. The landscape of Horton plains is very different from the preconceived image of a tropical highland. The park views are dominated by panoramic rolling grass plains, with occasional peaks topped by patches of montane forests, which are blanketed by mists. You will also enjoy a scenic train ride from Ella to Ohiya which is one of the breathtaking train rides in the world.
