ECO Trekking Camp - Horton Plains, Sri Lanka

Luxury Camping - Horton Plains National Park, Sri Lanka

If it’s the ultimate camping safari experience you’re looking for in the utmost comfort, Horton Plains National Park Trekking Camp is the choice for you! Sit back and relax, and let the Eco Team take you on an experience that you’ll never forget!

HORTON PLAINS NATIONAL PARK is undoubtedly one of the world’s best nature reserves.  It is characterised by a beautiful landscape of rolling hills, covered in upper montane forest and wet patana grassland.  In general, the forests are seen on the hilltops or upper slopes, and the grasslands in the valleys and lower slopes, eventually giving way to wetland habitats.  Spanning approximately 10,000 hectares the park is also home to a wide variety of flora (57 species, 29 endemic to Sri Lanka) and 24 species of mammals such as elk, deer, giant squirrel, wild boar, wild hare, porcupine and leopard.   For bird enthusiasts, there are 87 species (14 of which are endemic), including many migratory birds.  The Plains also feature many interesting attractions such as ‘Baker’s Falls’, ‘Chimmini Pool’ and the famous ‘World’s End’ (a 3700 ft sheer drop that offers fabulous views of the tea estates below and all the way out to the distant southern coastline).

Since vehicles are not allowed into the park, Horton Plains is a PARTICIPATORY CAMPING location, giving guests the opportunity of getting involved in the whole process of setting up the camp, and even assisting in the cooking! Although park regulations prohibit the lighting of campfires, we can still create a magical setting with lanterns, wonderful surrounding views of the Plains themselves and the diverse flora and fauna present (especially watch out for leopards!)
N.B. Due to the altitude of the park is prepared for sometimes cold and windy weather.

Forget any ideas about cramped tents and sitting on the ground for meals – this is camping in style! The camp is set up prior to your arrival, transporting in comfortable tents, a fully equipped kitchen, chairs and tables, hammocks, flushable toilets, showers and even cold beer. On your return from the afternoon nature trail, you will be welcomed with a hearty barbecue meal in a magical setting – the whole area is lit up with traditional flame torches and a roaring campfire. So sit back, relax and let the experienced staff cater to your every need.
