Have you been to the Center of the World?
Truly Magnificent, Truly Inspiring – “Center of the World”, or commonly known as “Moon Plains”
The beauty in life cannot be touched or heard, but it can only be seen with your own eyes, no pixel range can capture the divine beauty it brings, breath-taking views where one can sit and enjoy for hours.
Though the popular “Horton Plains” is known to be the highlight of Nuwara Eliya, little did I know that this belief will be cut short by a 30 minute jeep ride to the amazing but lesser known destination called Moon Plains. It was declared open to the public on 25th March 2014, and has become a favorite among those who love photography, nature, trekking and camping.
Moon Plains lies surrounded by Kikiliyamana Mountain (7339 feet), Single Tree Mountain (6890 feet), Great Western Mountain (7257 feet), Kirigalpoththa Mountain (7835 feet), Thotupola Mountain (7737 feet), Hakkgala Mountain (7110 feet), Namunukula Mountain (6667 feet) and Pidurutalagala Mountain (8281 feet).
The view point at the very center gives you a 360° view of the surrounding mountains of the hill country and is ideal for photographic moments to capture beauty of life that cannot be experienced otherwise.
As you arrive at the top of the plains, enjoy a 5 minute walk to the watch tower where you can sit and enjoy a snack whilst enjoying the true beauty and scenery from this point.
A mini safari to Moon Plains, will take you through green fields full of cattle, deer and wild boar that add to the wilderness.
Sri Lanka is blessed with many hidden gems that bring about the best of our Island Paradise that is yet to be discovered, yet to be explored and most of all yet to be experienced!
