World’s End Lodge  Ohiya & Ministry Mountances

World’s End Lodge Ohiya Bungalows was one of the best places in Sri Lanka if you love to be in the ministry mounting.

If you want to indulge your five senses among the misty mountains or if you want to disconnect your mind from the rest of the world and enjoy a peace of mind for a few days, then World’s End Lodge, Ohiya would be the ideal heaven for you. Truly this is the tranquility at its best.

But if you want five star or four-star hotel facilities, then this is not the best or even a good place for you. But if you are a person who wants to be in nature and enjoy it, then this is heaven for you.

I have traveled to many places in Sri Lanka, but this is the best place that I ever stayed until now. Until you reach the destination, you never expect to stay a place like this, World’s End Lodge, Ohiya. It is the experience in the misty mountains.

This World’s End Lodge is located in a historic hiking trail leading to the Horton Plains in the upper Ohiya area.

World’s End Lodge is situated at an altitude of approximately 1270 m, the climate is always cool and refreshing.

There is a high chance that you will surround yourself with mist within a matter of minutes or seconds but whatever happens, is immaterial to the experience that you gain when you are solely in this place.

This review is about the Place but NOT  much about the hotel as you must appreciate the fact that at least this type of facilities available in such place

Direction to the World’s End Lodge Ohiya

If you traveled along the Colombo-Rathnapura-Wellawaya-Batticaloa (A4 Road), you will find Ginigathgala Kirimatiya Road in front of the Walhaputhenna Central College right next to the 175 km post.

Just see the below picture. you never miss this 175km post unless you are blind 🙂

After the turn-off at the 175th KM post, an uphill climb on a narrow winding road. The road is not very good therefore you need to make sure, your vehicle tires are good enough and have a good amount of ground clearance.

There are many U-turns and you should not drive very fast and also you should be very careful when you drive as it is an off-road type of road.

This is the entrance to the World’s End Lodge.

There is ample car parking space but make sure, you park your vehicle so that you go back without any issue.

If the car park is full, it is a bit difficult to turn your vehicle.

The rooms selection of World’s End Lodge Ohiya

There are several categories of rooms depending on the location and condition.

• Eagle’s View Rock Cabin
• Eagle’s nest Rooms
• Superior Rooms
• Normal Rooms

We selected the Normal Rooms sections. In my opinion, it is a good selection according to our budget.

Hotel Tariff  as of 14th of November 2015

Eagle’s Nest Rooms of World’s End Lodge

This the entrance of the Eagle’s nest Rooms. I read a lot of reviews about World’s End Lodge and most people talks about this terrace facility of this Eagle’s nest rooms.

You can visit the Eagle’s nest Rooms Terrace and you can see the entire view of place but in my opinion, you get a better view of the Normal room section.

If you do not mind, why not pay a little money and book these rooms 🙂

Normal Rooms Section of World’s End Lodge

We booked this section. only thing is, it is a bit of a claim that you need to do with your bags. if you are not fit enough, then this is a bit of tiring thing.

Notes: Dillan took this photo. He bought a DSLR camera before he went on this Trip 🙂

These are the rooms that you get. this is the highest altitude of the place, therefore, in my opinion, this is the best place to stay if you want to be with this misty mountains

Normal Rooms Section Rooms Condition of World’s End Lodge

It offers everything one would need for a comfortable stay but no luxury things. Bear in mind that.

I  have nothing to complain about the place but one thing that I noticed was, the floor of the rooms were never cleaned properly. if you walk bare feet, you would find a lot of dirt on your feet 🙂

Toilets are clean and it was in good condition. We had enough hot water to wash.

Take your own bed sheets and towels if you do not want to use these things 🙂

Lunch, Dinner, B’Fast and Tea/Coffee World’s End Lodge

Service at World’s End Lodge is amicable and homely – while it may NOT have resembled all-star perfection, it was the least to our satisfaction anyway. We liked the friendly atmosphere.

This is the manager and I can NOT remember his name. I was told that his father was the previous manager of this place.

Maybe these people are loyal to the owner of this place.

Loyalty pays good dividends 🙂

The food is nice and delicious. you can eat any amount of food. it is served very hotly and it is better to eat when it is hot.

we ate a lot of food and the staff of the restaurant and the hotel are very friendly.

This is my plate 🙂

We had to order chicken dishes twice.

The Pool Section

The true attraction at the Lodge though was the natural water pool located right between the old and the new wings which is directly fed by the streams, again, overlooking the mountains.

I spent many hours around this pool as you are always surrounded by mist. I love the mist and coldness.

It is a clean pool and it is better to use it in the morning than evening 🙂

Eagle’s View Rock Cabin Rooms Section

This is the newest section of the hotel but I am not very sure about the view and condition of the rooms.

But I took some photos so that you can make a decision.

This is located in the down hillside of the hotel.

This is the room’s section and there are 3 rooms.

This room has its own pool 🙂

Summary of the Review

7 people went on this trip and we stayed 1-night full board.  The total cost is Rs 30994=>30,000. Per cost is Rs 4200/= head.

We are quite happy with the cost and facilities of this World’s End Lodge. If you come from overseas and want to have better facilities, then this is NOT a hotel for you. If you want to be in the heart of nature with decent facilities for a reasonable price, then this is the best choice.

• The condition of the road leading to the World’s End Lodge was not so great. The first 2.5 km to 3 km are in better condition but after that, the drive got a bit rough since the road had been washed away in many places. The road is narrow too.
• However, even a car with average ground-clearance could pass through if you drive carefully.
• The cleanliness of World’s End Lodge, there were some issues especially on the room floor but other facilities are good enough.
• Food was quite good and you can eat as much as possible 🙂
• Price is reasonable
• It is the best place to stay if you want to be with mother nature.
