Descripción completa

Horton Plains es una meseta de pastizal de altitud y bosque de niebla a unos 2.300 metros, y no se parece en nada al resto de Sri Lanka: abierta, erosionada por el viento, fria, mas cercana a Escocia que a los tropicos.

La razon para venir es World's End, donde el escarpe sur simplemente se detiene y cae unos 870 metros en una pared vertical, con la llanura y a veces la costa sur visibles muy abajo.

Llegar alli en tren desde Ella hasta Ohiya es la diferencia entre esta excursion y la estandar. Ohiya es la estacion mas alta de la linea y el trayecto de subida cruza lo mejor del pais del te; desde alli son unos once kilometros hasta la entrada del parque.

El bucle en si mide unos nueve kilometros y dura de tres a cuatro horas, mayormente plano con tramos rocosos. Recorralo en sentido antihorario, eso llega primero a Little World's End y luego a World's End, antes de las nubes, y deja las cascadas de Baker para el regreso.

El ciervo sambar es comun y en gran medida indiferente a la gente. Langures de cara purpura en los tramos boscosos. El leopardo de Sri Lanka esta presente aqui y practicamente nunca se ve.

Ella es un pueblo a 1.040 metros en las montañas del sur, al que se llega en el tren desde Kandy que la mayoria considera el trayecto ferroviario mas bonito de Asia, y sus lugares de interes estan todos a pocos kilometros: el puente de los nueve arcos, un viaducto de ladrillo de 1921 en un desfiladero de te, que un tren cruza varias veces al dia; el Little Adam’s Peak, una caminata de 40 minutos entre te hasta una cresta; Ella Rock, una subida mas exigente de tres horas; y las cascadas de Ravana en la carretera hacia Wellawaya. Las mañanas son claras y las tardes de los meses humedos traen nubes al paso, por eso las caminatas se hacen temprano. Los tuk-tuks son el transporte, y cualquier alojamiento puede conseguir uno.

Preguntas frecuentes

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.
