Vollständige Beschreibung

Horton Plains ist ein Plateau aus Hochlandgras und Nebelwald auf etwa 2.300 Metern, und es sieht in nichts dem Rest Sri Lankas aehnlich, offen, windzerfurcht, kalt, naeher an Schottland als an den Tropen.

Der Grund zu kommen ist World’s End, wo der suedliche Steilhang einfach aufhoert und etwa 870 Meter in einer senkrechten Wand abfaellt, mit der Ebene und manchmal der Suedkueste weit darunter sichtbar.

Dort mit dem Zug von Ella nach Ohiya anzukommen, ist der Unterschied zwischen dieser Tour und der ueblichen. Ohiya ist der hoechste Bahnhof der Strecke, und die Fahrt hinauf durchquert das Beste des Teelandes; von dort sind es etwa elf Kilometer bis zum Parkeingang.

Die Schleife selbst ist etwa neun Kilometer lang und dauert drei bis vier Stunden, meist flach mit felsigen Abschnitten. Gehen Sie sie gegen den Uhrzeigersinn, das erreicht zuerst Little World’s End und dann World’s End, vor den Wolken, und spart die Baker’s Falls fuer den Rueckweg auf.

Sambarhirsche sind haeufig und weitgehend unbeeindruckt von Menschen. Weisshaube-Languren in den Waldabschnitten. Der Sri-lankische Leopard ist hier praesent und wird praktisch nie gesichtet.

Ella ist ein Dorf auf 1.040 Metern in den Bergen des Sueden, erreichbar mit dem Zug aus Kandy, den die meisten fuer die schoenste Bahnfahrt Asiens halten, und seine Sehenswuerdigkeiten liegen alle nur wenige Kilometer entfernt: die Neun-Bogen-Bruecke, ein Backsteinviadukt von 1921 in einer Teeschlucht, das mehrmals taeglich von einem Zug ueberquert wird; der Little Adam’s Peak, ein 40-minuetiger Spaziergang durch Teefelder zu einem Kamm; Ella Rock, ein anspruchsvollerer dreistuendiger Aufstieg; und die Ravana-Wasserfaelle an der Strasse nach Wellawaya. Die Morgen sind klar, und an Nachmittagen der feuchten Monate zieht Wolken in den Pass, deshalb finden Wanderungen frueh statt. Tuk-Tuks sind das Verkehrsmittel, und jede Pension kann eines besorgen.

Häufige Fragen

Hotel pickup in Ella; the exact address and time are confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover the horton plains entrance fee, train tickets, meals, gratuities.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
Sign of Lanka (Pvt) Ltd. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

A 20-25 minute walk downhill from Ella town through tea and jungle — uphill on the way back. A tuk-tuk to the Demodara side is quieter and saves the climb. It is free, with no ticket and no official viewing area. See our Nine Arch Bridge guide.
Roughly every two hours, but Sri Lanka Railways runs 30-90 minutes late routinely, so any blog quoting exact times is quoting a timetable rather than reality. Ask at Ella station on the morning — staff will tell you what is expected and how late it is running.
Little Adam's Peak for almost everyone — 45 minutes up a stepped path for arguably the better view, out through the Ella Gap. Ella Rock is three hours return, largely unsigned, and people get lost on it regularly; take a guide or an offline map. Compared in full here.
Reserved seats open 30 days ahead and sell out within hours from December to March. Unreserved 2nd/3rd class is sold on the day and always available — you will stand, which is where the open doorways are. Send your luggage ahead by road if you have a driver. See getting to Ella.
January to March for the clearest Ella Gap views. June to September is dry but hazy from the Uva wind; October to December is wet. The real risk is cloud, not rain — at 1,000 m the view can be inside a cloud on a dry day, and mornings are clearer than afternoons in every month. See best time to visit Ella.
Two nights, which gives you two dawns — Little Adam's Peak on one, Ella Rock or a tea morning on the other, with the bridge mid-morning on day one. Our Ella 2-day itinerary sets out the order.
Do everything before nine in the morning. The Gap view is clearer in the morning in every month, Little Adam's Peak has a queue by nine, and the Nine Arch Bridge has hundreds of people on it by ten.
