It's Sri Lanka


Visiting Sri Lanka was the best thing happened to me in 2015. The journey was full of wonders and magical moments. Among the places I have visited in Sri Lanka, Horton plains had the most breathtaking views and creatures. Of course the country is itself a wonderland for me but Horton plains is just a magical place. The climate, it's beautiful creatures and wild life, the world’s end, the baker’s fall are just amazing.

Horton plains, a world heritage site located in the central highlands of the country with rolling mountains, grasslandsevergreen forest and all. The high altitude plains are beautiful, silent, strange & excellent for trekking & bird watching. The best part is that, the climate at the plain can change very quickly at any moment. One minute it’s sunny and clear and the next minute it’s misty and chilly. If you are hoping visit the plains, then my recommend would be to start it in the morning.

The plain is a home to so many beautiful creatures. This is home to Sambar deer which keep to the edge of wooded areas, the shaggy bear-monkey (or purple-faced langur) & giant squirrel. Here large herd of Elk, silhouetted against the clouds of the lowlands, move among scarlet rhododendrons. This is also home to the rhino-horned lizard, a rare relic species. Some lizards with outlandishly glowing green scales is also seen. this is one of the best place in the island for bird watching. 

There is much more, the plants, the flowers, the waterfalls and the magical world’s end. Not just one I have thousands of reasons to come back to this place. Thank you Sri Lanka, this is the best way to finish 2015. Here are some pictures of Horton place Sri Lanka, you may wanna visit too.
