In 2013 we camped at Hortain plains for the first time , since the day we left that place we were missing that place this is the second night we stayed up there .
This was the second time I camped at Mahaeliya (Horton Plains). We started our journey from Colombo by Podi Manike train. Our crew was eight with three Boys and five girls. Train journeys always made me happy, Since we have reserved our tickets early we got managed to travel to Ohiya without any disturbance. some foreign friends there. We made Train arrived to Ohiya with half an hour delay. We got our Lunch at Ohiya. Than 11 KM Journey was by three wheeler.
Waruna – one of our travel mates got a chance to drive the three wheeler as well. That was the first time in his life, he drove a three wheeler. However, we managed to be at the main entrance around 4.00. After checking our backpacks, we went to the place we have planned to stay that night.

After setting up tents we had a quick discussion what to do cause it was already late. We asked from others and they wanted to see the world end So we left the campsite with our lighting equipment. The walk was so slow at the beginning. If got late we had few challenges . There were leopards as well. With the discussions we got managed to visit Bakers fall though it was bit dark. Then we rushed towards WE anyway. And again, there was no one around and park was so lonely place at that time. we had a nice scenery of the Samber family. They were climbing a small mountain. She was red with the background that was awesome scenery we regret so much that we left our cameras back. We had a feeling that we have lost our way, but we had that gut feeling that we are following the correct path. So far were travelling like few small teams. Finally, we reached the world’s end that was the real worlds end feeling. lights were on in below cities. I can’t describe that feeling, it was fantastic. We returned to the campsite without any harm before it got too dark still it was so adventurous, Once we heard one animal moving in the jungle so closely.
