Once parked in Horton Plains and after about 10 minutes of walking, you’ll reach a fork in the road. The left path is most commonly taken and gets you to World’s End faster. The right path takes you to Baker’s Falls first and is probably as an easier option as you take the steeper part of the hike at a decline. Which path you take really depends on when you get there and your fitness level.

Getting to World’s End via The Left Path
Once you take the left turn off, you’ll walk for about half an hour through grassy hills and then head into the thick jungle. After this you’ll reach a clearing which is Little World’s End Sri Lanka.

The view here is pretty beautiful. The hill also continues further up and you can climb it for a better view. However, I stopped for a few pics here but continued on quickly on down the path on the right as I was determined to be the first to reach the real World’s End.
The next 20 minutes of walking take you on a bit of a decline through a rocky extinct river bed. Nothing too hard though. And then you’ll finally reach World’s End.
Come-Back via Right Path & Baker’s Falls
Now that all the excitement is over it’s time to start the somewhat anti-climactic trip back to the entrance. The loop back path via Baker’s Falls can be a little difficult and steep at times and you’ll start bumping into a few more people. It will take you another 30-minutes walk till you reach the path down to Baker’s Falls. The water fall is really nice so you’ll definitely wait there for few minutes to have a rest.
From there you walk along grassy hilltops all the way back to the park entrance. The entire loop took us about 3 hours.
