Amazing day - ⸻ We made the excursion to Horton Plains and it was a fantastic experience. Our guide Carith was excellent: very friendly, attentive at all times and with an impressive knowledge about the fauna, flora and nature of the place. He explained many curious details that made the visit even more interesting. The tour was very pleasant, we enjoyed the natural environment and everything we learned during the day. Undoubtedly, an experience we recommend 100%.

A wonderful way to start your day - Thank you Charith. What a great guide and a lovely man. My partner and I enjoyed a long morning walk around Horton Plains including enjoying stopping off at waterfall, Bakers Falls, World’s End, and spotting numerous wildlife. For the experience and service provided as well as pick up and drop off by Charith, we found it to be good value for money and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Horton Plains.

Favourite bit of Sri Lanka - Charith was great, he spotted lizards, monkeys and even located a giant tree squirrel just from recognising the sound of a fruit/nut being dropped. Without a guide, it would have just been a nice walk. I was glad I had my binoculars, I wouldn’t have seen the squirrel without them. It’s incredible to see the clouds rolling up over the cloud forest from World’s end viewpoint, but worth getting there as early as possible otherwise you might just see a blanket of mist. There are some toilets, bring your own paper. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience but average value - Beatiful hike, not very challenging. Great & safe driver Lahiru. Service as described, but expensive in hindsight. My advice - get your accommodation to book a 4WD/car once you get to Nuwara Eliya, will be much cheaper.

Pleasant and enjoyable Horton Plains loop hike - Charith was my driver, guide and walking companion for the loop trail. He picked me up and dropped me off from /to my hotel. He was very helpful and considerate and pointed out a number of sights, flora snd fauna. Thanks Charith! There was some confusion initially with my being told my hotel was outside the permissible radius for complimentary pickup / dropoff. I insisted it was not (less than 3 km) and finally the matter was settled. And I was told that Charith would come to collect me. That was the only not-so-nice thing about this trip.

Recommended! - The communication at the start of arrangement met some hiccups. Once it was settled, the entire 4hr hike excursion went very smoothly. From timely hotel pick up by our guide Charith to the park entrance. Entrance fee is 11,000LKR per person. Which is fair, given the park is very well maintained. Charith was a very helpful guide with alot of knowledge of fauna and flora, animals and their habitations. He was also very attentive to our physical needs especially at some slippery routes (due to rain). Overall a very good experience. Recommended👍🏻👍🏻
