There’s no set fee for volunteer guides, but expect to donate a similar amount. Guides at the national park office expect about Rs 800. Try to avoid doing this walk on Sundays and public holidays, when it can get crowded. That’s when you’ll spy toy-town, tea-plantation villages in the valley below, and an unencumbered view south towards the coast. The early morning (between 6am and 10am) is the best time to visit, before the clouds roll in. Unless you get there early, the view from World’s End is often obscured by mist, particularly during the rainy season from April to September.Īll you can expect to see from World’s End after around 9am is a swirling white wall. The 9.5km round trip takes a leisurely three hours.


The walk here is 4km, but the trail then loops back to Baker’s Falls (2km) and continues back to the entrance (another 3.5km). The Horton Plains plateau comes to a sudden end at World’s End, a stunning escarpment that plunges 880m.
