Riverston,
a luxury guide.

A little-known cliff-edge ridge at the northern edge of the Knuckles.

Riverston is the quietest of Sri Lanka's high viewpoints — a 1,100-metre cliff edge at the northern end of the Knuckles, with sweeping views over Matale and the dry-zone plains. Mini World's End at Riverston is the lesser-known sibling of the more famous Horton Plains.

Best time: January to April. Duration: 1–2 nights.
