Horton Plains, Sri Lanka

Horton Plains are high up in the heart of Sri Lanka, blissfully cool in the early morning. We went up there for a walk that turned out to be 9 kilometres long just about the furthest the kids can do. Rajah led us through plains, forests and waterfalls pointing out all the medicinal plants and leopard poo, and we spotted wild elk (ha! A moose type creature, and we saw them!) The kids were brilliant, and even Jen walked at least half of it, with clambers up and down banks, streams to cross and hundreds of steps. It was a really good walk, punctuated by absolutely stunning surrounds. Half way along the track is the Worlds End. Here, a small concrete platform marks, with little other warning, a sheer cliff edge that plunges 880 metres down hence the name. http://3-6-6.com
