The Sri Lanka Highlands are located in the south-central part of the island. The estate includes the Peak District Wilderness Area, Horton Plains National Park and Knuckles Protected Forest. Rising up to 2,500 metres above sea level, these alpine forests are home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, including several endangered species such as the western purple-faced langur, the Horton Plains slender slow loris and the Sri Lankan leopard. The area is considered a super biodiversity hotspot.
