About Riverston
Riverston is often called the "Mini World’s End" but many travelers find it more beautiful than the original. It features a narrow, windy road through high-altitude grasslands and cloud forests. It is home to the stunning Sera Ella waterfall and the Pitawala Pathana plains, which look like an African savanna perched in the sky.
