A cool morning fog lifts as you step off the lane in Belihuloya, boots sinking into red-earth track and tea-scented wind pushing you toward the Nonpareil Estate. The trail moves through estate roads and forest edges, unspooling views across layered ridges that reveal distant reservoirs and lowland plains; the base of World’s End sits like a forbidding shoulder on the horizon.

Start early
Begin at first light to avoid afternoon cloud and to capture the best long-distance views from Nagrak and the estate roads.
