| Horton Plains is even higher than Nuwara
Eliya. It features unique montane forest which is daily enveloped in
cloud, the source of Sri Lanka's longest river, the Mahaweli Ganga, and
World's End, a 880m sheer cliff. This photo shows James resting as
the cloud advances up the valley below, something that occurs everyday at
about 10am. |
Within 15 minutes the cloud filled the valley
below and soon began to chase us back across the plain. Our friend
Andrew/Walley, a geography teacher, was thrilled to see such a perfect textbook
example of Anabatic winds. |
