9km fantastic hike that will take you in a loop from Mini-world’s End, to World’s End to the Baker’s falls and back. Either do it leisurely taking in the views and spotting the native birds or do it … Full review by Adventure593561

Complete rip off for foreigners. Avoid this place. Boring walk with no views. We wasted a day and paid a fortune. Over 60gbp for two people is outrageous Full review by Fjm4

Hi, we are planning on going to Horton Plains tomorrow. Can we do the trail to worlds end by ourselves or do we need a guide? Is there a clear trail to follow? Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry for the extremely late reply. As we remember it, there was one point in the trail, where there were 2 paths neither of the paths were signed and the tour guide thankfully showed us the way. There weren't other trekkers that we could have followed as there were none at the time. Waiting for other trekkers isn't always advisable or safe. So from our experience and for safety's sake we would say hire a guide.

I stayed in Ella. You must leave early to trek as there are a lot of people. I’m 64 and had no problem doing whole trek although you must be careful in places track is quiet rough and rocky and you need to be very careful of your footing. Just take your time and take plenty of water with you. Enjoy. There is a must go to restaurant in Ella. I’ll try and remember it and get back to you.enjoy...j

A:
I would not take young kids on the hike unless you have taken them on something similar before. its long, the path is narrow and uneven. there are parts where adults needed to climb up/down rocky areas using hands and feet that would be difficult for young kids. The hike is not difficult in comparison to hiking in Nepal for example but it is also not an easy walk by any means.
Q:
Can you tell me about weather condition ?
A:
Its not that cold, you can wear t-shirt.
