Horton Plains at 6am this week - is World's End just a white wall or did they close the gate
Hotel wanted us in the van at 4.45am. August blogs say the viewpoint is cloud from 9.30 anyway and some people say the park closes mornings after rain. I am not paying park fees to walk in milk. Do they actually shut the gate or is this just fog.

The park is open. August does not add a secret morning closure. What August does is put cloud on World's End by 9 or 9:30 most days, sometimes from the moment you arrive. You go at gate-open (6) or you skip. If the whole plateau is raining sideways at 5:30, you can abort and keep the jeep money conversation honest with your driver - the DWC ticket is only bought at the gate.
We left Nuwara Eliya at 5:10, at the cliff by 7:20, had 15 minutes of view, then white. Still glad we went. Trails were slick. No plastic bags - they are strict.
