Perched at an altitude of 840 meters above sea level, the Mini World’s End at Hulangala offers a dramatic drop of nearly 100 meters, providing breathtaking views of the lush valleys below. The escarpment forms the natural boundary between Matale District in the Central Province and Kurunegala District in the North-Western Province. On clear days, visitors can enjoy sweeping vistas of the distant mountains, rolling tea estates, and vibrant greenery.
The best time to visit Hulangala is during the dry season, from December to March when the skies are clear and the trails are dry. However, even during the wetter months, Hulangala offers a mystical beauty, with mist rolling over the escarpment and lush greenery surrounding the trails.
