Kirigalpoththa Nature Trail – Horton Plains National Park |
|
|
Kirigalpothatha is the second highest peak in Sri Lanka after Piduruthalagala. Trail to summit of Kirigalpoththa is arguably the best nature trail in Horton Plains. It is not too though (but not easy either) and will let you experience all aspects of the unique and fragile eco-system of Horton plains. The trail goes through areas of wet grass land, cloud forests and scrubs at the summit. A wide variety of beautiful wild flowers can also be seen during the hike. |
Thotupola Kanda Nature Trail – Horton Plains National Park |
|
|
Trail to Thotupola kanda will let you experience the unique montane forest ecosystem of Horton plains with minimum difficulty. On a clear day, you will be able to enjoy the breath-taking view of the surrounding savanna and forest patches of Horton Plains from the summit. Even though Thotupola kanda is the third highest peak in Sri Lanka, this trail is easy to tackle since the elevation gain from trail head to the peak is quite small |
