拥有山地草原和云雾森林的高海拔高原，是被称为“世界尽头”的陡峭悬崖观景台的所在地。

概述

霍顿平原是一片海拔 2,000 米以上的多风高原，周围覆盖着草丛草原和云雾缭绕的森林。这条经典的 9 公里环路步道通向世界尽头，这里的土地在令人眼花缭乱的悬崖上下降了近 900 米，然后到达翻滚的贝克瀑布，然后返回。沿途可以看到水鹿、特有鸟类和偶尔出现的紫面叶猴。

历史

The plateau was named after Sir Robert Wilmot-Horton, a 19th-century British Governor of Ceylon. Long used as colonial hunting grounds, it was declared a national park in 1988 and, together with the surrounding highlands, inscribed as part of the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.
