点评:This was one of the more anticipated things on my list for the tour that I was on in Sri Lanka.
Make no mistake, the complete walk is quite a trek. World's End is about 4 kms from the car park and there are a numbver of rocks to walk over but it is not too bad. Take shoes with a good tread because there are a lot of very small loose round stones that are easy to slide on.
I would say that it would be about a 3 out of 5 fitness trek. You can either go back the way you came or continue on to see Bakers Falls and then continue to the car park where you start. The round trip is about 9.5 kms. It will take the average person about 2.5 to 3 hours to complete but that also depends on your fitness level, how many stops you do to take photos, catch your breath or rest your legs.
Is it worth the trek to see World's End?
In my opinion it isn't however the sense of achievement is well worth it and I am very pleased that I did do it. There is only one World's End on the planet so you could look at it as a bucket list thing to do. The reason I said it wasn't is because it is a 900 meter drop from where you are at the sign to the bottom but you cannot see the distance. There is no viewing platform and this was why I was so dissapointed. The view of the hills and surrounding area is amazing so your trek is not wasted.
As you will see from my photos, there is a slab of concrete on the ground saying World's End and then the next photo is just to the left of the sign. There are no barriers so you have to be very aware of that.
Bakers Falls is beautiful. There had not been a lot of rain there lately so apparently there was not as much water flow as usual.

毫无疑问,整个徒步过程相当艰辛。世界尽头距离停车场约 4 公里,有许多岩石需要走过,但还不算太难。请穿上鞋底有良好抓地力的鞋子,因为那里有很多非常小的松散圆石,很容易滑倒。
我认为,这将是 5 分之 3 的健身徒步。您可以沿原路返回,也可以继续前往贝克斯瀑布,然后继续前往您出发的停车场。往返行程约 9.5 公里。一般人需要大约 2.5 到 3 小时才能完成,但这也取决于您的健身水平,以及您停下来拍照、喘口气或休息双腿的次数。
徒步去看世界尽头值得吗?
在我看来,不值得,但成就感非常值得,我很高兴我做到了。地球上只有一个世界尽头,所以你可以把它看作是人生必做之事。我说它不是,是因为从你所在的标志处到底部有 900 米的落差,但你看不到距离。没有观景台,这就是我如此失望的原因。山丘和周围地区的景色令人惊叹,所以你的跋涉没有白费。
正如你从我的照片中看到的那样,地上有一块写着世界尽头的混凝土板,然后下一张照片就在标志的左边。没有障碍物,所以你必须非常注意这一点。
贝克斯瀑布很美。最近那里没有下太多雨,所以显然水流没有平时那么多。
