Staying in Nuwara Eliya. What time do I really need to leave my hotel to beat the clouds at World's End?

You must leave Nuwara Eliya by 5:00 AM at the latest. It takes about an hour to drive up the winding roads to the park entrance. You want to be at the World's End precipice by 8:00 AM before the thick mist rolls in at 9:00 AM.

We left at 5:30 AM and just barely made it. By 9:15 AM, it was a total whiteout. You literally couldn't see 10 feet in front of you.

Got it, 5 AM sharp. And good tip on the plastic bags, I will make sure my snacks are in paper.

Make sure to have your driver arrange a packed breakfast from your hotel the night before. Also, they are very strict about plastic—they will check your bags at the gate and remove labels from water bottles.
