located at an elevation of 1980 meters in the central highlands of a
tropical island, it offers the best both worlds advantages, of tropical
abundance and pleasant cool mountain climate. While the time climate is sub-tropical,
night temperature plunge
low enough to produce frost.......
One of the attraction of Horton plains is world's end. There are infact two of them. “The small world’s end” and
“The big world’s end” they are about 0.8km (1/2mile) apart from each other. From these, one could see the fall to the Tea states down bellow.
A merry 1000ft(328m) from the small one and a dramatic 4000ft (1312m) from the big one. From here one could get a fantastic view of the surrounding hills and the mountain ranges wreathed in mists and clouds and on clear days even the Indian ocean which is about 50 miles (81km) to the south is visible.
The vertebrate fauna of the region includes
24 species of mammals,
87 species of birds,
9 species of reptiles and
8species of amphibians..
