Central Highlands of Sri Lanka
*The central highlands are pleasantly cool and relatively dry from January to April.
*The newest addition to the list, Sri Lanka's highlands are made up of three wet-zone parks: the Peak Wilderness Protected Area, the Horton Plains National Park, and the Knuckles Conservation Forest. Adam's Peak is the highest point, which has become a significant center for Buddhist pilgrims. *It's a biodiversity hotspot with an incredible range of endemic species. Several endangered species can be found here, such as the western-purple-faced langur, the slender loris, and the Sri Lankan leopard.
