World's End, Cliff in Horton Plains National Park, Central Province, Sri Lanka
The World's End escarpment plunges 1,200 meters down, providing views extending across tea plantations and forests to the Indian Ocean 81 kilometers south.
A Dutch tourist named Mamitho Lendas made international news in 2015 when he survived a 130-foot fall from the cliff while taking photographs.
Visitors gather at the summit before 9 AM following local traditions to witness the panorama before daily mist clouds obscure the views.
The complete hiking circuit through Horton Plains National Park covers 9.5 kilometers and requires approximately three hours to reach all observation points.
The cliff face drops vertically through multiple vegetation zones, creating distinct ecological layers from montane forest to lowland tropical landscape.
