Amazing experience but average value - Beatiful hike, not very challenging. Great & safe driver Lahiru. Service as described, but expensive in hindsight. My advice - get your accommodation to book a 4WD/car once you get to Nuwara Eliya, will be much cheaper.

Pleasant and enjoyable Horton Plains loop hike - Charith was my driver, guide and walking companion for the loop trail. He picked me up and dropped me off from /to my hotel. He was very helpful and considerate and pointed out a number of sights, flora snd fauna. Thanks Charith! There was some confusion initially with my being told my hotel was outside the permissible radius for complimentary pickup / dropoff. I insisted it was not (less than 3 km) and finally the matter was settled. And I was told that Charith would come to collect me. That was the only not-so-nice thing about this trip.

Recommended! - The communication at the start of arrangement met some hiccups. Once it was settled, the entire 4hr hike excursion went very smoothly. From timely hotel pick up by our guide Charith to the park entrance. Entrance fee is 11,000LKR per person. Which is fair, given the park is very well maintained. Charith was a very helpful guide with alot of knowledge of fauna and flora, animals and their habitations. He was also very attentive to our physical needs especially at some slippery routes (due to rain). Overall a very good experience. Recommended👍🏻👍🏻

Worlds end awsome - The scenery was stunning. We were lucky when we started the walk it was very musty but it cleared and the views were stunning so clear. But what made the trip was the guide/ driver Chadith who was so knowledgeable and went far and above to give us such a memorable experience. We didn’t have enough cash for the entrance fee as they didn’t take credit cards. He had some cash but not enough and borrowed some more from another driver so we could gain entry to the park. Thanks once again for a memorable trip. Mark

Horton Plains Hike - Today we went on a hike at the Horton Plains National Park with Harshana as our driver and guide. It was incredible! We arrived during sunrise which was very beautiful. The national park is quiet, clean and really scenic. We were lucky enough to spot monkeys, a giant squirrel, deer and some really colourful birds. What a fantastic experience! Harshana was very knowledgable and super friendly. And thanks for stopping on the way back at the tea shop :)

Lucky Morning with a Great Guide - Charith - My driver and guide for the day was Charith. He was on time when he picked me up from the hotel. When we reached the Horton Plains, we were lucky enough to spot a leopard at the entrance. Charith was extremely knowledgeable about the area. He was able to point out many different animals and took me on a less-known path to see the sites and find different animals. He's also very caring. He saw one older gentle fell due to slippery ground and he rushed to check if he's okay. Overall, Chairth was the perfect guide for the trip. Highly recommend!

Review - We had a fabulous time at Horton Planes, thanks to our guide Kavish. He is extremely hospitable and will go to lengths to make your trek in the planes enjoyable. Kavish is knowledgeable and has a very good idea/background of places in and around Nuwara Eliya. I would recommend him to anyone who is planning to visit Sri Lanka
