Baker’s Falls: Der Wasserfall auf dem Horton-Plains-Rundweg
about 3 km from the park entrance · Moderate · about 2 hours round trip · Nuwara Eliya District · Central Province
Baker's Falls drops about 20 m in two streams into a rock pool on the Belihul Oya, in the cloud forest of Horton Plains National Park. It sits on the park's circular trail, about 3 km from the entrance, on the same loop as World's End.
Was Sie durchlaufen werden
The path from the main entrance crosses the montane grassland of the plateau and drops into forest of rhododendrons and ferns to the falls, where spray hangs over the pool. Sambar deer are often seen on the way. Most walkers take in Baker's Falls as part of the full loop with Little and Big World's End.
The plunge pool is deep and dangerous. Do not swim, and take care on the wet rock in the spray.
Zugang & Genehmigungen
